The client had a world trading company with an office and home in Boca Raton. He had a lot in the embassy section of Belgrade, overlooking the city, and had a house designed by a local architect. He was unhappy with what he seemed to be getting. His secretary drove by my office everyday on her way home, and suggested he talk to me.
            The program required a very large and complicated house and ultimately resulted in about 30,000 sq. ft. on four levels. He wanted basically a white house with a red roof like most in Belgrade, but that was where the similarity ended.
            As it was cut deeply into the hill, only two levels were seen from the street and would have a comfortable horizontality, but a vigorous organic geometry.
            Materials were as follows…… crosscut Travertine on floors and vertical surfaces that originated in the ground…… white stucco on all horizontal surfaces…… red/brown glazed tile sloping roofs…… windows and doors, Mahogany outside/Cherry inside…… copper flat roofs and skylight framing.
            The client was impatient to get started, so we were preparing structural engineering drawings from the ground up, and just keeping ahead of construction. After about nine months the job was put on hold, apparently due to financial problems, and was never resumed.
