The form of the building mimics certain characteristics of reptiles. The Black tarred cedar shingles form the skin of this building softening the strong geometric form. The entrance corridor leads you into the long elongated interior that widens as entering further into the structure cutting through the forest, almost reaching out for light at the opening as it opens out to the main living space projecting over a lake.
The 164 sq.m floor space comprises of a large open plan living room with kitchen, and bathroom on the ground floor. Attached to the bathroom at the entrance to the building is a small sauna area. A spiral staircase leads you up into the mezzanine bedroom with en-suite bathroom and built in wardrobes. At the front of the mezzanine is an office area which looks out at the view from the main window. Large roof lights run down the central section to bring further light into the rear of the building as it cuts through the forest.
