In plan, the Mirror House seems to offer a clear delineation of public and private spaces. In effect, however, the one-way mirror renders their division ambiguous. Private spaces are hidden from view by the mirror’s reflection while the public spaces are doubled. The mirror repeats (and inverts) the modernist trope of transparency. At the same time as the living room offers a pure Miesian experience in 360 degrees, the private spaces have unnervingly panoptic exterior views themselves. No space is spared seeing itself or wondering if it is in fact being seen. DS in Praxis, Issue 8
