"It...is a fairly simple box, elaborated by the eyelashes and eyebrows of overhangs which soften the transition from the simple box to the bright light of the outside. There, I think, for the first time in several centuries, the windows came clearly to be seen not just as walls of glass as in earlier houses, nor as holes in solid walls, as in still earlier ones, but rather variously as chances to pick up light along a wall or floor or to look at a view through an opening shaded by trellises, each window responding to the special aspects of what lay beyond or the quality of entering light. The effects inside in three dimensions are far more complexly developed than they would have been in earlier Bay Area buildings, to get the pleasures of light on more surfaces. Not the extent of the space but the way the light falls in it is the key ennobling factor"
