The spatial arrangement of the day ship consists of a mezzanine that contains a rest space, and on the ground floor, all social spaces are connected, achieving an axis of coexistence that consists of a kitchen-dining-living room, and in its most closed part contains bathroom and service modules.

On the second level, the master bedroom with its personal bathroom was generated as the most intimate space in the house without sacrificing the privacy of the users.

The materiality consists of three base elements: local stone to generate the main volumes; regional pine present in roofs and frames; and glass to achieve internal transparency with the landscape. With this, the objective of having minimal impact on the environment and mimicking the cabin with nature is achieved.
