The design of the house, with regard to the spatial requirements of the structure, seeks to respect the surrounding development by measuring and settling in the field. The ambition was to design a humble unit that would integrate into the local structure and promote a harmonious impression of place.
The house is embedded into the slope and from the road it looks like a single storey. The earth material chosen – the masonry on the facade, enhances the connection to the terrain. It seems to be becoming a part of it, as if it was shaping it.
Yet the form of construction is rational and structurally simple. The house is designed as triple tract, as is acknowledged even in the volume solution of the building. Individual tracts form functional parts.
The northern part consists of operational and technical facilities, the central zone includes common living areas. The southern part is designated for rooms with south-facing balconies.

The entire building, including parking spaces, is designed to be barrier-free and allows safe movement for people with limited orientation or mobility.
The building is divided into four separate households for 16 people, each with single rooms that can be converted into double rooms, and two studio apartments for short-term care services.
