This house was designed for a newly wed couple and it is made of steel, glass, and glass block. The house is very transparent and industrial. The glass walls allow the person to feel like they are outside and inside at the same time. The not so clear glass allows you to be open and have privacy. The steel beams, rubber floors, and heavy light fixtures show how the home is industrial. Inside the house there are removable sliding doors that the Japanese use. A mechanical component is the overhead trolley from the kitchen to living room. Since the owner was a doctor in his program he included a ground floor medical suite for patients, but of course he hid it from his private areas inside the home. The owner Dr. Dalsace was a French Communist and often this house was the hangout spot for marxist and intellectuals like the Walter Benjamin, who said was inspired/fasginated by the building.
