"Implicit and explicit obliqueness, established in the plan either through the articulation of sub-spaces and the relative positioning of thresholds […] or through oblique boundaries […] is used to ‘channel’ the user’s vision in space towards selected directions: to underpin the best view and orientation, to reinforce the relation between the interior and the exterior or to emphasize multiple perspectives and orientation points. It implies a direct connection between the design and the experiential aspect of the domestic space […] Visual sequences in the spaces of oblique geometry have to do with the gradual building of tension through the 'hierarchisation' of views, contrasting visual directions and strongly varied broadness of fields. In close connection with the houses’ main entrance points, and in parallel with other design devices the concatenation of views woven in space take on a more sequential [...], or episodic character [...]"
