The kitchen is at the core of the house, in the area where the separate volumes branch off from the main body. The living and dining areas are situated on elevated levels and offer some more privacy. They also have floor-to-ceiling glass windows that allow panoramic views to be admired. Smaller openings throughout the house also let the inhabitants see the beautiful surrounding landscape but on a smaller scale.
