Built on a sloping site, the structure sits partially on posts. Inside, there is an open living space, a bedroom, an upstairs loft, and a bathroom. A deck on the back offers outdoor space for fresh air. Overall, this little house provides a quiet year round space for guests or for personal retreat.
