The house is entirely clad in copper sheeting, from the roof and walls to the eaves. The teahouse protrudes from the main house and is cantilevered by a wall girder made of 36mm cedar 3-ply panels that bear the load of the floor and roof. The interior of the teahouse features white plastered walls with burnt cypress.
