Each of the containers serve as rooms and run lengthwise, as expected with such a long and narrow space. The containers are elevated on stilts and connected by corridors and walk-ways. This considerably reduces the impact on the local environment.

The hotel is built in a minimalist style and elegantly cascades down the mountainside. The whole philosophy behind the project is to protect the local environment from the harmful effects of buildings and leisure activities. All the materials used in the building process are environmentally friendly and sourced locally.
