The social area organizes the access, the living room, dining and kitchen all into one single space, framed by a window that goes from floor to ceiling. The opposite wall to the dormitories accommodates the laundry room, barbecue grill, and kitchen. Both suites are arranged side by side, and the smaller one shares ...
