Interior
Hall
The fact that the living area is located in a separate block is an example of another very characteristic preference of Kahn’s. He did not like the buildings in a unified manner, so he divided the interior space in order to create usable spaces. Ideally, Kahn wanted each space, or room, having his own way. In a large building achieving this wasn’t practical nor economical, but a private home allowed him to get closer to the ideal.
The only volume area orthogonally located is the stone fireplace in the living room, reiterating the 45-degree angle from the adjacent volume.
