This project began with the study of the Schindler House. The space, material, method of construction and social order of it was and remains a hallmark of what modern architecture promised. In which that was achieved in abstract methods of a rotation, center of gravity, torque and centrifugal or centripetal force. All possible in the low density of then Los Angeles (West Hollywood) and almost home-made by the architects. If life in the modern era was less tied to agrarian family order the modern era demanded a new way to live. I unfolded this to a new world almost 100 years later and showed that the spatial principles at place at Schindler can be re-invented in new materials and at new scale and density. A multi-household structure emerges that offers daily inspiration in simply moving a few feet and gaining a diagonal vista in an otherwise congested and tightly packed house. With a neighbor immediately around and adjacent and intertwined.
