The centrally positioned bathroom is equipped with a toilet, sink and a walk-in shower. The wide stairs lead upstairs. The landing opens directly to the roof terrace at the rear, which is 7 meters wide and 3 meters long and faces due West, so that it has direct sun exposure from sunrise until sunset.
