All rooms are spacious and have large windows. The lower floor has a room for assistants, guest room, storage and sauna.
The house is built of maintenance-free larch.

Users comments
When the user planned the house he devoted the most effort to the measurements and floor plan. He thought a lot about how it would work with assistants and privacy. His wife has her own room and bathroom adjacent to the master bedroom. Her clothing is there, as well as a bed in case one of them is ill. The assistants do not have access to that room.
The assistants have their own entrance to their own room and can come directly from there up to the user’s bedroom without going through any of the other rooms.
In addition to the floor plan, he feels that the best part about the house is its size, which gives him enough room to move around.

The large windows are also important for the user; he can see out and he can follow the seasons without having to go out and freeze.
