The red brick floor and cylindrical tower are waxed to bring out a cold purple overtone.

The steel is painted grey,steps and railing are of white granite.

It is one of the world’s most beautiful yet least functional houses.

It was never envisioned as a home to live-in but a life-style stage to live with.

In the interior, the carpet in the living room gives a strong edge definition of the horizontal plane making its field very distinct.

Space with-in the space- the cylindrical bathroom portion differ in form from the enveloping space i.e. a cuboid.

This is done to strengthen its image as a free standing volume and to create contrast to indicate a functional difference.
