The functional programme of the building is supposed to serve a three person family, with additional temporary guests. Layout of the rooms is clearly divided into day and night zones by vertical placement on different floors. Although the building is summer house, the programme was thought out as to be easily transformed into a single-family, yearfull house. The main living area is organized around a fireplace, and opens to the adjoining external terrace. A view on the lake dominates.

The building was designed in light wooden framework technology, with a balloon framing due to high knee wall of the attic. Its exterior walls are clad with vertical profiled spruce boards, while the roof is covered with clay tiles.
