The house is designed for a family of four persons. The irregular outer form of the building is determined by the shape of the plot and the respective border distances.

A clear rectangle is inscribed in this irregular form, which corresponds to the heated interior living space; on the valley and mountain sides, inner courtyards are located in front of the living space.
