Mothers House by Venturi
Venturi's Mother's House has been designed in accordance to a variety of ideas. The two most prominent ideas are:
- The fire place and staircase as the central core of the house
- The front and back facades are flat and appear almost as interior walls on the exterior of the house

Geometry
Elevations- Venturi plays with symmetry and asymmetry on the front and back facades
These two front facades are extremely flat and seem like interior walls. The use of flat symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes look like the detailing of an interior wall.
