The ground floor feels like a cave. protected and intimate. This is where all the living areas are; such as the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room. It mirrors to Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye as it provide different ways of moving into the next floor as well as the circular drive way.
The first floor is perhaps the most important one. It is an invisible box. It allows interaction with nature and has no distinct separation with nature. Again, this communicates to Villa Savoye's second level. Rem argues that maybe instead of putting a house above the ground, providing amazing view but at the same time separates itself from the ground. Rem said maybe it's better to put the building in the ground, connected with nature. The first floor is interesting because it holds the second floor on top of it though it looks like it is covered by glass.
The second floor is an interesting addition to Bordeaux. It again refers to Le Corbusier's statement that says that the house are the machine for the living. Thus the top floor looks like a mechanical box, though it contains warm and intimate spaces, such as the bedroom. The box feels like its floating though it looks very heavy. Compared to Vila Savoye's light white box, Rem produce heavy brown box that floats above ground.
