In order to be protected from small, seasonal floods, the house is elevated eighty centimetres above the riverbank meadow. Thus generous cedar wood deck is held above the shimmering surface of the lake when it overflows its banks.
The entire house is built as a timber construction. Within, the materialisation of the timber structure is continued in the floors and the ceiling. The ceilings are covered with white varnished timber, while the floors are made of robust oak. All interior wall surfaces are plastered with lime plaster ensuring a good indoor climate. The façade also continues the expression of the spruce construction. The exterior timber has been treated with a special light wood glaze. A play of light and shadow is created on the façade, which emphasises the different layers and the fine details.
