The sculpture depicts a small, simplified structure resembling a house or building with a single rectangular opening at the front. It is made from a material that gives it a rough texture. The color of the sculpture is a creamy off-white. The structure sits on a rectangular base with a reddish-brown color. The overall form is box-like and minimalistic, with emphasis on the texture and the single opening.
