Art historical significance
The house is based on the Brutalist architecture based on the French, English and American models:
"Stylistically, there is an external relationship to Le Corbusier's buildings (Jaoul houses, Neuilly), the English brutalism of the early 1960s and Louis Kahn's buildings in the USA ."
