The first is a louvered portal frame made of cedar wood for the corridor and water area. The second is a floor beam made of three tiers of 90 mm square cypress used for the ceiling of the living and dining rooms, and the third is a load-bearing wall of the living and dining rooms with slit-like openings at the top and bottom. The third is the structural plywood wall in the living and dining rooms, which has slit openings at the top and bottom.
