Half a level above, the living area opens up, featuring a sofa and a wood-burning stove. Its slightly elevated position provides a pleasant visual separation from the kitchen while maintaining the open-concept layout. Large windows here also create a bright atmosphere and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
