A common cube was cut into pieces, every piece was shifted against the vertical and then they were assembled again in a random order – this is how it seems at first glance. The independence of each of the pieces brings a peculiar shape to the house. The pieces seem to be inconveniently located, put out of their places, and the whole structure looks unstable, or, as it may seem to some people, senseless, like a text with no beginning and no end. You will have to go around the house to see its non-linear equilib- rium. It seems like the house doesn’t have the walls at all – instead of them there are huge windows, skewed as well. But, apparently, there are walls inside, they are just carefully concealed. The house is based on a metal structure, so the house stands firm on the ground. Being placed on a small hill, it appears to be taller than in reality. Looking out of the huge clear windows, one can see the surrounding nature – and it should be borne in mind that environmental friendliness, or even envi- ronmental focus of the structures stays the same
