Well presented video, but you failed to mention that there is a basement level with access from the stair in the entrance lobby. From memory this contained rooms for the chauffeur as well as access to an inspection pit in the garage that allowed maintenance of vehicles from below.
I always wondered if there were a basement, as it looked like the stairs from the ground floor go down as well as up. I have never seen a video that includes coverage of the basement.
Good video. I agree about the horizontal windows -- they give a feeling of confinement, which seems counter to Corb's intent. Also, I feel too much space is devoted to the ramp and the staircase -- they feel like the most central, and important, feature of the house, and shouldn't be. Compared to the ramp and stairs, the living space feels like afterthoughts, especially the bedrooms. The entryway on the ground floor seems especially dark, gloomy, and sterile, like the hallway of a hospital, and even though there is a large glass wall, much light is blocked by the overhanging second floor.
