该住宅东侧朝向湖岸，南面分布着茂密的云杉林，犹如一面自然而又富有特色的背景墙。在场地西侧，杉树林构成了一道厚实的视觉屏障，并在柔化原本开放的声音景观的同时，为场地增添了一丝温和的暗色调。

The building is approached from the south through a dense spruce forest, as the lake landscape slowly opens to the right on the east side. The spruce forest forms a natural and characteristic back wall for the construction site. It acts as a strong visual barrier along the western boundary of the plot, but also softens the place’s otherwise open sound landscape and adds a gentle, dark tone to it.

在设计之初，场地中几乎没有树木，只有一棵需要被移除的枫树。沿湖岸分布的白桦树呈现出富有韵律的线条，它既是从住宅内部所能看到的最重要的景致，同时也承担着保护场地私密性的作用。房屋底层的铺路石与岸边陡峭的石堤使用了同一种材料。建筑物的确切位置主要取决于景观，越往北走，朝向湖岸的视野便越开阔；另一方面，从住宅到岸边的最短距离也被精确地确定下来。

At the beginning of the design, the plot was almost treeless and only one maple tree had to be removed to make room for the building. The rhythmic line of birches by the shore is an essential feature for the landscape opening from the interior of the house, and it also provides privacy when viewing the building from the lake. The steep stone embankment of the shore is repeated with the paving stones of the lower part of the house. The exact location of the building was largely determined by the views. The more north you move on the plot, the more the lake landscape opens, on the other hand the shortest distance to the shore was precisely determined.
