Brno House
One of the most famous Modern houses of the 20th century, this building expresses the same pure, bold aesthetic as the Barcelona Pavilion, but here the building is designed to be lived in. Photography is prohibited inside hence the exterior photos above. An intriguing feature are the living space windows which electrically recess into the wall below - genius!
