The plans and sections don't relate to the external slope of the facade either, which btw is irrelevant!

Unfortunately he/she never reacted. I'm just after some sort of online discussion that goes beyond the words 'intriguing' and 'beautiful'. Secondly, are you suggesting that there was a special "poetic relation between architecture, client and context"? Please inform me about this, I would love to learn more. Thirdly: I really wonder what an emotion from inside to outside looks like. Kind regards, Robert-Jan de Kort Dear Emma Picard,

At least this one is more inhabitable than Koolhaas Bordeaux house (cf. www.koolhaashouselife.com, excellent) all the more as you have not seen the views and emotions from inside to outside!
