Richard Meier: The Neugebauer House
In this interview architect Richard Meier discusses the contrasts between the ideas of public and private spaces and how these concepts apply to his 1998 Neugebauer House.
The house was constructed on a wedge shaped plot adjacent to Doubloon Bay in Naples, Florida. While the house’s wide horizontal front conceals the view of the water from the public, the vertical slot windows running the width of its rear exterior wall afford a spectacular view of the Bay to the inhabitants within. The Neugebauer House’s most distinctive feature is its large steel-frame butterfly cantilevered roof.
