That’s only half the story of course, the untouched nature of this place is an obvious draw, as you can see from the images both here and on the agent’s site. What you might not get out of them is the amount of natural daylight the design allows into the house, the quality of materials used and the inspiration behind it, that being Le Corbusier and his Modulor system, which is certain to have its own academic appeal.
