Dune

The exterior of the villa is also white and geometric, but it does not maintain the box-like form of the Villa Muller or Villa Savoye. The villa is divided into three distinct floors, providing a single height for all of the rooms on each level. Utilization of an iron framework enabled Mies to dispense with the supporting walls and arrange the interior according to the feeling of space and light. Like the Villa Savoye, the idea of the free plan created a dramatically different sense of space than that found in the Villa Muller. While the interior spaces of the Villa Muller create a sense of distinct closed volumes, defined by Loos's principle of the Raumplan, the interior of the Villa Tugendhat is an expression of open volumes. Mies's free plan produced vast open spaces with divisions only where desired by the architect. In the Villa Tugendhat rooms are not well-defined, single function spaces, but are able to serve various functions.
