The simple two-story rectangular plan evolved from the very tight rectangular site. The guest rooms are placed on the first floor, and the second floor is a large public space covered with timber trusses. The trusses are a combination of thin layers of timber boards that continue out to the terrace area. The building and landscape have been designed as an integrated experience, also serving as a buffer zone from the street. An elevated slope connects the ground-floor entrance to the terrace on the second floor.
