Appreciation towards Avanto Architects for providing the following description:

这个住宅位于一个马蹄形岛上。其中住宅面积78平米，独立于住宅之外的桑拿屋面积为24平米。

住宅成十字交叉状，因此四个角上有着非常不同的视野，而建筑中，人们可从三个方向上看到湖。西侧的景观是美丽的森林。早上，日光落在早餐桌上，中午，日光在餐桌上，到了傍晚，日光落在起居室。卧室没有收到阳光直射，因此没有设置窗帘。打开双层的门，内部与外部的界线完全消失，融为一个开放的整体。深黑色的外皮与浅色的内部形成鲜明对比。当你从湖的方向看过来时，建筑完全消失在森林的背景之中。平屋顶柔和的讽刺现代主义的陈词滥调。

这是一个可持续性的普通芬兰小屋。冬季用电力加热以防止水管冻结。从旁边森林就地取材的木材保证了碳中立。没有自来水。电力依靠太阳能。森林中有蔬菜种植物和药材，湖里有肥美的梭鲈。这里简单的生活和一般农村的生活不一样，同时又从繁忙的都市生活中脱离开来，与自然发生关系。

The site is situated on a horseshoe shaped island and faces north and east. The cross like shape of this simple villa reaches towards four very different views. There is no one and only direction on the site as usually, but you can see lake in three directions and you have a nice forest view to the west. You get morning light at the breakfast table, midday in dining room and evening in sitting room. There is no direct sunlight in the bedroom so you don’t need curtains. Terraces are covered to prevent the hot summer sun overheating the building but allowing passive solar energy in the winter. You can open the double doors to the terraces so that the limit of interior and exterior disappears. The space is open and defined at the same time. The exterior is treated all black to contrast the interior, which is very light. Dark color makes the building disappear totally when seen from the lake. The roof is flat – there is some warm irony to the clichés of modern architecture.

The basic idea is to provide an example of sustainable cottage in contrast to normal Finnish cottages that are heated all year round with electricity to prevent water pipes from freezing. The building is insulated well and heated by wood from own forest only resulting in a carbon neutral building. There is no running water and the electricity is provided by the sun. Vegetables and herbs are cultivated on site and the Vaskivesi Lake is known as a good place to catch pike-perch. The simple and ascetic life at the countryside differs dramatically from the hectic city life and provides a possibility to live a life with a minimum impact to the nature.
