The second plan describes a house with a bigger footprint, 98 square meters, but confined to a single level. The house features a compact and attractive design, exuding a seemingly Scandinavian air thanks to the raised gables and the prominent chimney on the roof. The interior is efficiently structured into a living, a kitchen and a dining area, along two bedrooms and a bathroom. On the outside, the house boasts large glazing spaces which allow natural light in, a covered terrace on two sides which brings extra space and makes up for the small interior.
