The choice of materials to be used was made with ecological awareness. Oak, iron, natural stone, linen, and hemp fabric were used. A large part of the furniture was individually designed to suit the spatial requirements.

A generous glass insert gives you a picturesque view of the surroundings and in connection with the concept of a natural garden, the inside and outside merge into a very personal paradise.

The house speaks with the predominant mountain plain, with each view looking like an artistic creation. The choice to use age-old materials was made intentionally to cite the encompassing farmsteads.
