Did the late wheelchair-bound owner die falling down the massive void that elevator leaves? Check out the pointed edges of that spiral staircase; the maid needs hazard pay. I've seen close-ups of the concrete ceiling from the top level, large cracks everywhere. This house is every cliché in the book: Philip Johnson Glass House - check. Farnsworth House floating in the countryside? Check. Impossible Fallingwater cantilevered reinforced concrete balconies hovering out into space? Check. Most of all it's Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. When i first saw this house I thought "Ok, he's trying to make a connection to the owner's broken body, his "glass legs" - but this is a triumph over that." Or maybe Koolhaus just likes museums and Richard Serra's rolled steel installations (sorry, "sculpture" doesn't cut it). This is a tomb of terrors. Do I want my kids or grandkids hanging around that massive hole? Or taking a simple fall on what must be at least 8 inches of reinforced concrete? What happens when elevator malfunctions or power is down (This is France). It's the mausoleum in "Phantasm." A multi-level parking garage. A massive earthquake in Kobe, Japan 1995 showed the high price Japanese paid for having heavy, ornate 2-ton roofs on their homes when they pancaked. That's the sense you get w/ this thing. That you're under something massive and heavy. Symbolically you are: Rem Koolhaas's cold, pretentious Euro-arty farty ego.
Thank you for this unique perspective about space. Gave architecture a human face.

When the platform moves, balustrades rise from the floor to enclose the hole.
