Robert Venturi designed the house initially for his mother. The House is designed around a chimney that is centralised and goes all the way to the top of the house. Externally, they house is built symmetrical, however Venturi has distorted this idea of symmetry - for example, there are 5 windows on the facade of the building, however he placed them differently. There is also a basement underneath the house that is often not uncovered by people. The house is located in the country side of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and is considered a post-modern design. The chimney creates a clear vertically in the building, the is vi sable internally and externally.
