Robert Venturi, Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, 1959-1961
OfHouses presents “Pritzkers’ First Houses, part IV”: Here at OfHouses we avoid publishing well known residential masterpieces (from the league of Farnsworth or Savoye); we see no point in doing that, as others have already published entire books about those works. However, for the sake of the consistency of our Pritzker series, we’re now bending the rules to feature the exceptional Vanna Venturi House – the first house built by Robert Venturi (Pritzker 1991).
