Christos, I believe the Holl designed the house around the clent’s art collection, notice the gallery space next to the living room. The living room has a few small windows however to meet the needs of the client one can assume a large amount of wall space be provided and the appropriate place would be in the common space of the house – the living room. I would agree it makes sense to open the lving room to the pool area however the overwhelming amount of natural light and glare would not be good for any valuable artwork so this along with the additional wall space to hang art was also a consideration of Holl’s or a request from the client and finally any good architect would also tell you that eastern and western esposure to sun should be limited due to large fluctuations in heat gain, light/glare, etc…I believe the house affords a great deal of controlled natural light with the light monitors on rhe roof that provides abundant north light to the interior. Holl is a master at controlling light. I believe Chapel at St. Ignatius is his best use of light monitors in small spaces. As for the toliet being the first thing you see when you walk in, I thought the same thing however after viewing the photos the restroom door is a signature holl “L” shaped door and the rest of the walls are made of fritted glass. Not to bad considering.

steven holl is one of my favour architects too…but the planning of this house is horrible…. first thing you see as soon as you enter the house is the toilet..wow….. there no windows for the living room…what a waste, the living room should be opened to the enlosed pool, i am very dissapointed by his planning!!
