Breuer House I – 1939

Marcel Breuer – Casa Breuer I, Lincoln, Massachusetts, USA, 1939

Breuer House I by Marcel Breuer architect, at Lincoln, Massachusetts-USA, 1939.
“When stone is used in a wall, the aim is not to evoke a notion of rock, but to build a well-defined slab, made of stone because stone is a good, durable and structurally pleasing material, … It should be clear that this is a wall built by a mason, who executes drawings with dimensions and a given geometry; it is not a cave or part of a romantic anachronism.
“The structure is developed simultaneously with the design. Thinking about the form and the details are part of the same process: the design. I am as interested in the smallest details as in the entire structure.”
Marcel Breuer
