It features walls made of insulated aluminum panels sitting on concrete foundations, along with horizontal strip windows around the bedrooms at one end of the building and more extensive glazing around the living area at the other.

"The interior walls are covered in pine boards that offer a sense of coziness, warmth and a delicate feeling of home," Arango says.
