The group substituted the bases of supports installed in concrete as well as incorporated structural plywood where essential to ensure load-bearing capability. Horizontal rigidness was attained through getting the braces with braces. The earthen walls offered adequate insulation, enhanced through glass wool in brand-new wall structures and extruded polystyrene froth underneath the floor covering. The irimoya roof covering design presented a problem because of its higher ridge beam of light. To steer clear of developing a massive 5.3-meter-high wall surface that would be without a human scale and also cover the lumber structure, the design held up the uppermost component of the big wall surface on the guesthouse side. This developed a 2.1-meter-high catwalk, providing a diminished roof height of 2.33 gauges in the shop. The footway enables natural light to enhance the exposure of the wood frame. This method turns around the normal building focus through exposing the hardwood structure that was actually when hidden and hiding aspects that were actually recently obvious.
