The house has two floors: on the ground floor there is a cozy living room with a fireplace and a kitchen, on the second floor there are bedrooms and a bathroom. High ceilings covered with boards, an abundance of wooden details and warm shades of furniture and textiles recreate the cozy atmosphere of the chalet.

The two-light living room is flooded with sunlight coming through the large windows. The shades of multicolored tiles with geometric prints, which are lined with a podium under the fireplace, are repeated in the upholstery of upholstered furniture and decorative items throughout the house.

The apron in the cooking area is tiled in the same color as the podium in the living room. In the kitchen there is a breakfast bar and a large dining table for more leisurely dinners with family and friends.
