The kitchen and the living room with garden view is located in the rear part of the house. The upper floor is divided into a children's area and a sleeping area, which is accessible via a concrete walkway through the gallery. A continuous roof connects the two areas structurally and visually.

Due to prevention of overheating the large glass surfaces of the longitudinal facade are aligned to the north. Floor-to-ceiling windows and interior doors made of oak contrast with the raw concrete surfaces and the polished terrazzo floor. The homogeneous dark facade visually wraps the different window formats.
