Ukumbi wa kuvutia wa kuingilia, wenye kabati kubwa la makoti, huleta hisia ya ukaribisho wa joto na umaridadi—unaofaa kwa maisha ya kila siku au kuwakaribisha wageni. Kutoka hapo, nyumba inaendelea hadi sebule pana yenye sakafu imara ya mbao za mwaloni zilizopambwa kwa vipande vya mti wa walnut, pamoja na meko ya kuni inayofanya kazi, iliyozungukwa na fremu maalum ya mbao na vigae vilivyokatwa kwa mikono. Madirisha mawili makubwa ya mtindo wa Paris yenye kufunguka kwa bawaba yanaangalia upande wa kusini-mashariki, yakitoa mandhari pana ya jiji na anga, huku yakiijaza nafasi hiyo mwanga wa asubuhi na mng’ao wa jioni. Kuna nafasi ya kutosha kwa meza ya chakula, huku rafu iliyojengwa ukutani ikiunda kona ya kuvutia ya kusomea au kuburudishia wageni.

Jiko la mpishi lenye eneo la kula na madirisha ni la matumizi na lenye umaridadi kwa wakati mmoja. Kaunta pana za Caesarstone hutoa nafasi bora ya kufanyia kazi, zikikamilishwa na makabati ya Kiitaliano ya Maistri yenye taa zilizounganishwa na stoo ya siri ya kuingia ndani. Eneo lenye jua la kifungua kinywa hutoa sehemu tulivu ya kunywea kahawa ya asubuhi.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala kina madirisha yanayoelekea kaskazini na mashariki, yanayokijaza mwanga.
