Research notes
Concrete rooms partly embedded in a wooded slope turn the space between two blocks into a stepped outdoor room.
Look at the route through the courtyard and the narrow openings along its edges. The later curved studio changes the composition without making the original rectangular volumes disappear.
What the sources do not establish
- Original house: 1981; later addition discussed in the published account, whose project metadata lists 1984.
- Photographs document the published source account; later alterations are not a claim about the original completion date.
