There are rooms for a day rest on the first floor; they are concentrated around the staircase shaft, which unites all the four levels of this chalet. The architects managed to integrate bathrooms into this central element as well. The concrete construction is faced with wood, referring to the traditional rural houses. There is a terrace on the lower floor, which is protected by the shed, created by the displacement of the upper stories` construction.
