On the north side of the arch is a dirt floor and entrance, which leads to a single-storey living and dining room. The upper volume on the north side is a staircase with 30 steps, and in the center of the arch is a bathroom and a terrace overlooking the western larch forest, with a bedroom beyond. The arched entrance plays a role as a gate that clearly separates "asphalt" from "nature" in the villa area with 100% pavement.
