The place sports mostly wooden flooring except for the one in the bathrooms. With one of the house walls almost entirely replaced with glass (the groundfloor living room and the bedroom above both boast huge floortoceiling windows), there is a neverending game of in and out, the interior and exterior, going on.
The first floor combines an entrance lobby, a living room and a kitchen, and the second floor accommodates private areas. The decor is sparse.
