Vanna Venturi House, Postmodern residence in Chestnut Hill, US.
The Vanna Venturi House features a light wood frame construction covering 1,800 square feet with two floors and a central chimney placement.
Robert Venturi designed and completed this residential structure in 1964, marking a departure from modernist architectural principles of the mid-twentieth century.
The American Institute of Architects recognized the exceptional design with the Twenty-five Year Award in 1989 for its influence on architectural development.
The residence incorporates multiple window placements throughout its asymmetrical facade, allowing natural light to enter various living spaces within the structure.
The building combines traditional residential elements with geometric shapes, creating a complex roofline that distinguishes it from conventional house designs.
