Residential part of the house copies the slight terrain wave in the floor structure. The ceiling of the living room is higher compared to the other floors in the building. This moment creates a ceiling illumination through which the room is illuminated during the rays of the morning sun. All rooms of the house facing the garden and French windows accentuate contact of the interior with the exterior. Dining room area, situated in the border between the living room and partially separated kitchen is directly connected with exterior wooden deck. Part of the facade is paneled by the wooden structural panels made of exotic wood.
