The design concept aimed to create a unified and complementary appearance for the small house, the guesthouse, and the equipment shed. Particular attention was paid to the existing trees. The cruciform floor plan of the house was chosen not only to avoid the impression of large facades through the interplay of light and shadow, but also to prevent the felling of any trees. The house, guesthouse, and equipment shed are raised off the forest floor by individual foundations, thus preserving the potential of the surrounding vegetation and wildlife.
