The structure expresses the idea of independence of the building from changing functions. The only undivided space with its expression in a laconic “clean” volume. The building is a simple rectangular metal structure on eight columns, between which are suspended two horizontal planes – the floor and floors. The third, smaller in area, plane creates an open porch terrace. The only place that has material limits is the redwood-lined sanitary area. The house is devoid of corner supports, floor slabs and floors hang in space (or float when the site is flooded by the waters of a nearby river). Mies van der Rohe develops the concept of a “universal” building – a glass parallelepiped of an extremely simple shape; its surface is dissected by racks that are evenly repeated. The white enamel paint of the building’s structure contrasts with the vibrant greenery of the surrounding park. Around the entire perimeter of the house, there is a solid glass wall blurring the border between the architectural environment and the natural one – the garden seems to penetrate into the house.
