The house and surrounding landscape form one strong unit. The terrace overhangs the artificial pond. Garage and maintenance building are designed as a hill with a green roof park above. The hill also conceals house and the terrace from the road. All the inner house facades are made from water resistant and super strong merbau wood. The outer contour is of grey Jura limestone. Windows are equipped with sliding wooden jalousie screen. They allow light through and at the same time give sense of privacy. The interior is in the same color scheme as the facade: red wooden and grey-beige stone shades. The architects developed interior and construction elements, starting from the door knobs to sculptured staircase. The upper skylights open the interior to sun beams.
