The primary feature of a concrete house Maralah it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. They put her in a rocky reef, so she is partially submerged in the rock, and partly cantilevered over it. It is built of raw concrete, matt black steel and glasses. Two sides are completely glazed, which offers the visitor extremely beautiful view of the landscape and the turquoise blue river flowing beneath it.
A luxury house for an escape from everyday life 45 square meters and has an additional space of 20 square meters dedicated to the water tank.
The interior consists of living room, which is divided into two parts – reading corner and a kitchen with a dining room. It is also in the living room bathroom with shower and toilets. It is under the living area a bedroom with an exceptional view.
Its shape is square, however by rotating by 45 degrees, it achieves a dynamic connection with the rock and the ground. The shape gives the feeling as if the cabin would merge with the rock during an earthquake, as described by its name - Maralah, which in the language of the natives means "the one who was born during the earthquake".
