The architects were inspired by Rudolph Steiner’s concept of eurithmy – an expressive movement technique of designing space. The home’s sculptural interior contracts and expands, giving one the impression of sliding through the space between neighboring buildings. The brick fence in front of the house moves mechanically and provides access to off-street parking and the curved front door, and a mall opening at the entrance provides additional ventilation.
