“The Neutra House project is some sort of a dream project. Not only does it contribute to architecture in general, but a great deal to our well being. In this specific case the house matches in shape, size, style, and configuration our personal needs quite well.
“[The house] absorbs and reflects its environment, and is simultaneously woven into and through nature, embracing naturally its surroundings. It is very present in so many nice details, tempting permanently to open new perspectives. Yet, at the same time, it’s almost invisible as you immediately feel part of it when you are in it. What more can you expect from good design?
“Whatever we will do there, we aim to add ourselves and what we currently relate to in the same airy and generous balance.” — Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag, Bless*
