Avanto Architect's site is situated on a horse shoe shaped island that faces north and east. The Architects have decided upon a cross like shape villa for showcasing 4 very different views. The exterior is treated all black by contrast to the interior, which is very light. The idea of the dark color was to make the building disappear totally when seen from the lake. The building is insulated well and heated by wood but there is no running water and the electricity is provided by the sun. Vegetables and herbs are cultivated on site and the Vaskivesi Lake is known as a good place to catch a fish called pike-perch.
