The winter gardens facing the building courtyard are unheated. The timber structure is painted in dark red and is the model for the colour and construction of the new rooftop level.
The ceiling beams inside the house span no more than 2.40 m. It became possible to use sawn lumber to build them. Infrared ­radiant panels mounted to their undersides ­provide heating.
