The building is accessed via a 1.5 km hiking trail.

There is contrast between the exterior walls, which are of a rigid outer shell, and the interior walls are an organic inner core.

The interior deep wall is constructed of timber, shaped as if it was eroded by natural forces like wind and running water, relating to the landscape and mountains on the outside.

The deep wall is formed to also act as seating space for people to sit and observe the views of the landscape. Because of it's formation, the threshold inside appears to be soft.
