The house was built next to the Danube. The garden opens onto the living-dining room with its high ceilings, while a small covered terrace on the street provides shelter from the rain. The kitchen is connected to the large living room, so that those who are cooking can be together with the family. The bedrooms were located in the other mass, offset by half a storey, with a cellar and garage underneath. Upstairs, guest rooms open from a common space. The materials used for the façade are a composition of plaster and wood cladding. The preculiar thing about the roof structure is that the supporting beams are made of glued wood and are visible both inside and outside.
