Rather than excessive coverings or embellishments, the space embraces raw materials, allowing its natural textures and traces of time to become part of the aesthetic. This approach reduces resource waste while maintaining the possibility for future expansion or deconstruction.

Spatially, the layout maximizes views of the mountains, inviting natural light to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The bedroom adapts flexibly to daily needs, shifting between open and private states, allowing residents to experience the evolving nature of the space over time.
