The courtyard facing the quiet atelier on the north side of the first floor is enclosed by a high wall for privacy. In contrast to the first floor, the second floor has a large family room. The calculated arrangement of the openings cuts through the panoramic view of the surrounding forest and the surrounding area, and the walls are neatly fitted with storage space and water features. The pentagonal roof made of steel and wood contributes to the beauty of this large space with its bold and delicate detail work. The coexistence with the natural environment and the balance between openness and closure are the themes of this house.
