The building site was discovered during a stroll through the forest near the river Enns which raised the desire to live in the middle of nature surrounded by trees. At first sight it seemed to be impossible to build a house there since only a narrow building area is located on even surface, the rest of it is a steep slope of six meters. This special situation was solved with an unusual but also simple construction. The building got only partially placed on solid ground, the bigger part of it is lifted off the ground and reaches into the tree crowns. A steel framework is supporting the construction.
