The building that was called a Wall House was built in Groningen, which is the capital of the small province in Netherlands. Located in the north, the place, where 182 people live, can boast of unique nature and some extraordinary places of interest. Wall House can be easily referred to the places of this type. But still there are not so many interesting things there. Therefore, the government of this place decided to acquire the Wall House, the example of unusual architecture, when the owner decided to leave it. The house really strikes the imagination of any person therefore the exhibitions are arranged when people can enjoy the masterpiece of architecture from inside as well as from the outside. The place is peaceful and nice and though the design is strange the house looks perfect and suits the place.
For quite a long time the idea of such house was on paper only. Its design dates back to the 1973. It was performed for Ed Bye from Connecticut, USA. The designer of the house is John Hejduk. Later the house was built and the concept became a reality. The wall is a symbol of physical transition between the times: between something that awaits you and what was in the past. The Wall is 1,5 meters thick. The main part of the house is the wall, while other parts of the house just the elements that hang on the wall. These are the entrance and other rooms. To emphasize this concept there is a narrow gap that connects the Wall with other parts of the building.
