Abstract

This is a sculptural building whose aspect continually changes with the point of view. On the south and east, it rises out of a pond with a fountain and a sculpture. There is a balcony along the southside windows, which turns the corner to the east and continues as a cave-like hallway that penetrates the eastern rounding and links with the terrace on the northside. In the brown, vertically-grooved siding of the northside are two hemispherical windows, which in an anthropomorphic gesture overlook the yard. These are the windows of the executive's office, now subdivided into two offices, hence now cyclopean. The interior is rather straightforward, lit by windows in three directions and opening vertically with the stairs. This is a view from the west.
