Classic exterior

Picture-perfect against a lush landscape, this two-storey wooden house channels classic with its open gable roof design complete with downspouts for an efficient water system and wooden surface. The base is a solid foundation made of concrete and stone. The architects also chose to have a small porch with railings that match those of the balcony's. Their criss-cross pattern breaks the monotony of the horizontal lines.

Spectacular siding

The house's surface is comprised of well-polished wooden panels latched together to form the siding.
