This villa is a unique example of their (the lining theory) that the components of a house constuctivos are through architecture.
Materials
Apart from the main facade of smooth plaster with four Doric columns, all the wealth of the house is on the inside: use plenty of marble floors and walls to coat, wood for walls and ceilings as well as sheets of copper for the roof dining. Such richness is particularly evident in the bathrooms, a marble-white marble and the other black.
The use of material properties such as size and color, for example, should be considered in relation to the historical cultural context, is not the ornament, but who defines the surface material of architecture.
The contrast of materials is particularly enhanced by the design of individual rooms at the entrance oval surface white, black and red marble oppose golden mosaic ceiling in the library, the marble veining in black and white is combined with panels of mahogany and white ceilings revoked in the dining room wall covered with white marble leads a copper roof.
