The extremely compact layout can easily adapt to the requirements of a particular lifestyle. Constant dialogue of designers with the client and elaboration of the smallest details ensure the individual orientation of the design. According to the original design, the foundation of the residence is slightly elevated relative to the level of the site for a better view from the inside. Sliding doors and built-in wardrobes are also provided. Absolute linearity of the interior creates the illusion of the volume and interpenetration of the internal and external spaces. The walls of the rooms are covered with birch multiplex panels, the warm character of which contrasts sharply with the strict elegance of the glass.
