The main concept of the Himalayan Birch House is the interaction between light and shadow; it emphasizes the interpretation of architecture as arts.
The project is centered around Himalayan birch trees, with 60 trees on the terrace and in the garden. Constructional elements draw attention to the trees and their shadows.

Nature is the protagonist of the interior as well; sunlight gently brushes over the forms and through the spaces with the predominant white color complementing the wooden elements.
Mina stainless steel faucets were chosen to underline the simplicity of form. Stiriana series wall-mounted mixers were installed in the main bathroom and guest bathrooms. Stiriana series products have been used in the white showers as well. In the kitchen, a new Mina’s sink mixer was chosen with an external pull-out spout.
