The house is styled to perpetuate a raw, unpolished look that is minimalistic in its approach. The materials constitute leather finish stones, and extensive use of hand-carved wood, motifs and textures inspired by various forms in nature. All of the materials are naturally added without any glossy, artificial or contrived finishes.
