The building volume and most of the structure has been kept intact, in order not to exploit the landscape xbut just to refine and strengthen the qualities already existing on the site.

The new facade is cladded in plywood, coated in black pine tar just like the traditional way of preserving wooden boats.

The roof is coated in simple tar paper and has thin plywood eaves with integrated aluminum gutters, coated in black.

The interior is all in natural pine and where plywood is used for both cladding and construction.
