Peculiarities of the terrain as well as unique character of the landscape were taken into account at the creation of this house and this is reflected in the complicated building`s structure. The house`s carcass is made in a form of concrete construction, strengthened with massive steel beams. Closeness to the heugh allowed to build a viewing platform overhanging the valley.

The house is facing Eastern direction; due to this its rooms have plenty of sunlight and warmth. The two-story building of 253 sq. meters has two-level living room, spacious kitchen and dining room, 4 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms are located at the cantilever part of the house with panoramic windows and mountain view. The interior impresses with elegancy and freshness.
