The house was especially created for a calm retreat in the bosom of the family; it unlocks the maximum of own potential in summer, when it becomes possible to fully open the pavilion with panoramic windows and enjoy staying outside. Thus, the interior and nature become a unified whole, whereas the spacious terrace twofold enlarges the residence`s space. There is only one bedroom in the house, yet it has an additional Pullman bed. The interior`s warm tincture is put up against the harsh façade`s finishing which is made of steel and dark siding.
