A light tower incorporated in the extension provides panoramic views and floods the space with northern light, creating an inviting atmosphere for culinary pursuits. The first floor, transformed to accommodate five en-suite bedrooms, is a testament to architectural innovation. Modern glass boxes, externally expressed, introduce natural light and stunning views. Electrically operated skylights illuminate the centrally positioned TV lounge and double-volume staircase, paying homage to the distinctive original gabled roof windows.
