John Daniel – The Summer House (by Richard Meier) – Blog 7

These buildings are named “The Summer Houses” and located in Jesolo, Italy. They look like one of the best places a summer could be spent hence the name.  My two favorite things about these buildings are how the balconies are layered on each floor and wrap fully around the building and the location. The Summer Houses are located in walking distance of the beach (see image below).  With these buildings Meier designed an amazing vacation destination. You can’t tell in the pictures but on Richard Meier’s website you can find out that the buildings include amenities such as a gym, a spa, with a lap-pool, sauna, and steam room, all oriented south with a view of the sea. If you don’t feel like swimming in the sea then you can relax in the in ground pool surrounded by green gardens.
