The building consists of two volumes. Together, the two volumes form a barn-like architecture that blends in well with its surroundings. The two volumes also break the programme of the group accommodation in two, all communal areas are located in one volume, while the other volume houses all the sleeping quarters.
The communal area is located on the ground floor. It is an open floor plan with several fixed elements, making the layout of the common areas flexible and adaptable to different activities. From the common room, there is an unobstructed view of the plantation and its beautiful surroundings.
The part of the accommodation with the sleeping quarters is two storeys high. 16 en-suite rooms are spread over two floors. The rooms are slightly oversized, allowing flexible use depending on the group size of the guests. Both the ground-floor and first-floor rooms have large windows, creating a special relationship with the surroundings. The architecture of the group accommodation is modest and refers to a barn-like object. The dark, wooden facade and glass make the volume simple but refined, well-suited to the green, natural surroundings.
