The villa is designed to have as many openings as necessary in the necessary places, in order to avoid the presence of surrounding houses as much as possible and to be used in the severe cold winter season. The openings, which look like the exits of a tunnel or a cave, impressively bring in the scenery and light. The sawara wood panels used on the walls reflect the surrounding greenery, light and shadows, and change into various colors, making the scenery even more impressive.
