Smith House (1965-67) Design by Richard (Alan) Meier U.S. architect noted for his refinements of and variations on classic Modernist principles: simplicity of materials, open space, and avoidance of applied ornamentation.
The 1920s revivalist element in the neorationalist movement is demonstrated in the United States in the work of Richard Meier, for example in his Smith House, Darien, Conn. (1965-67), inspired by Le Corbusier's Citrohan and Domino houses. |

Meier's houses typically feature intersecting planes--e.g., an interior floor may extend through a glass wall to form an exterior deck--and in their crisp geometric whiteness provide a sharp contrast with the natural setting.
