The hut is a sign of direction. Here the nomad has eyes, assesses the path. The man-made hut can be assembled anywhere from any available materials, in keeping with the spirit of simplicity.
This structure is dynamic, mimicking the movement of the torso in a hunting or searching
concentrated stance. The building rests one part on the ground, the other on oblique supports, and the third on a concrete ramp.

There is no goal, only the path is essential. A stop on the nomad’s journey is still an
indispensable part of it. A true refuge will not be a temptation, but rather a support.
Simplicity and openness do not hinder, it is transparent to see the way.
The simple support structure based on a solid timber beams running trhough the wooden walls to hold up the slabs of the hut. There are just two to tree beams, a couple of lines of support to hold each individual part of the floor, which is not attached to the walls.

The three floors have a clear functions. The first floor is occupied by technical rooms and entrances. The part that touches the ground contains the utilities. The entrance to the residential part is elevated above the ground. Entering the bright hall, and noticing the large concentrated stained-glass windows, you want to go higher to get a better view. Immediately at the entrance there is a staircase illuminated by additional slits of windows.
The second floor is supported by solid timber beams running through. These beams do not require additional thermal insulation, so they are free to go outside in their natural form. This structure conveys the spirit of justified simplicity of the nomadic house construction. The floor slabs do not touch the walls, so as not to create additional creaks and unnecessary joints. There is a drainage system around the bathroom floor, draining excess water.
The walls consist of a composite construction of wooden boards, wooden battens and thermal insulation. The joints of the boards converge in a structure of metal lightning rods.
A box in the back, that looks like nose, covers the engineering systems: air conditioning, ventilation and air recovery units. The roof and walls of the building are covered with thatched blocks, giving additional thermal insulation. In order to keep the snow from exerting great pressure, metal canopies are made on top of the building, additionally heated by electricity in winter, to melt the snow.
