This offers a captivating view and guests are immediately met by an [open-plan space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-black) when they enter the home. The living area and sleeping section are kept minimal, rooted by a sofa bed which careuflly opens up and accommodates up to two people. The design language has a Scandinavian feel with a light and functional touch. All of the accents are meant to avoid distraction and kept light. The panels are prefabricated to elevate the structure as a nod to modern construction processes. The brand brings in morning light filters with the trees around the location for a warm and welcoming ambiance.
