Reflection of House in Pool

The reflection in the water was an intentionally designed moment by Neutra who wanted to emphasize interactions between the structure and nature, although the pool is not naturally occurring. Neutra also intended the reflection to be a view of the house that could only be seen from a particular point on the property, a moment that is fleeting as one moves through the grounds, playing with the idea of time.
