A staircase leads to the dining room and a kitchen with more exalted views of the mountains stretching to the East and the West. There are also two bedrooms and a library.
The house is bordered by a cliff, a stone terrace and herb garden on the West and on the East bench in the shade of the trees. Concrete Foundation holding the glass structure supported by exposed beams. Cabinets and walnut separated interior space. Every part of the residence is a distinctive feature of the house and has an important value for the project. The design of the house turned out quite clear and concise.
