The project’s design strategy is a study in contrasts: a mix of efficient planning with exuberant materials and colors and textures; all between planes of cool concrete. ‘We like boxes within boxes, rooms within rooms, the blurring of inside and out, material contrasts and surprising color combinations,’ says Partner Peter Greenberg. ‘This is the essential strategy of Mies’ Farnsworth house – a box of richly contrasting material inside another box.’
