the scope
As the family had a restricted budget, the house, placed in the mountains, is designed according to the gird of the floor plan and construction materials that were already available. Special details in the design give the house a unique identity. The sloping roof refers to the steepness of the road next to the house. Large windows and folding doors are used to profit as much as possible from the view and incoming light, which the family can enjoy from their veranda as well as a fireplace inside the house.
