The house and surrounding landscape form one strong unit. The terrace overhangs the pond. Garage and maintenance building are constructed as a hill with a park above. The hill conceals terrace from the road. All the inner house facades are made from water resistant and super strong merbau wood. The outer contour is a frame of Jurassic stone (!!!!).Windows are equipped with extendable wooden jalousie. They allow light through and give sense of privacy at the same time. The interior is the same color scheme as the facade: red wooden and grey-beige stone shades. The architects developed interior and construction parts, starting from the door knobs to magnificent dominate staircase. The upper light fixtures open the interior to sun beams.
