Then Johnson received the diploma of an architect, and the first thing he built was his own house. In this small building embodied all the principles of modernism. It is a living capsule of the minimum necessary area and with a minimal set of furniture, without external walls. All its walls are windows. And without internal partitions. The whole interior is one room. Half-saline in the greenery and air of the forest, almost an immaterial, house-idea.
