The entire volume consists of five lodges with single sloping roofs and an alley-like space created by connecting the roofs between them. Local larch wood was carved by hand by carpenters using conventional construction methods. The five lodge units are sized according to their functions, and are arranged at a 30-degree angle to each other in accordance with the shape and topography of the site. The connections created in this way have the potential to withstand future expansion.
