Wall House II

The Wall House II features a large gray central wall with floating spaces connected by a spiral staircase and corridor spanning 2,500 square feet.

Originally designed in 1973 for construction in Connecticut, the structure remained unbuilt until a Dutch development company completed it in 2001 after the architect's death.

The design reflects John Hejduk's interpretation of Surrealist sculpture and Cubist paintings through its arrangement of biomorphic spaces around a central wall.

The building includes separate quarters for public events, residential functions, and an artist residency program focused on architectural research.

The residence contains distinct volumes accessed through a spiral staircase behind the primary wall, connected by glass sections that create an illusion of separation.
