Resort environment and the art creation mystery were the main sources of architectural inspiration. Wooden facing makes the building to visually dissolve in a pine forest, and the only opening in the main facade allows the visitor to look at the artists' world like through the keyhole.

There are two types of these - with an outdoor terrace or with a mezzanine inside. One can get from the second floor corridor directly to the meadow via open staircase.
