The internal layout of the home is one that differs on each level, where each level embodies a different structural style. In his design, Koolhaas has included various vehicles to explore and live within the home. These being (from left to right): the mother's stair to the east, the children's stair to the west, the guest stair near the entry and at the heart of the design, the hydraulically operated floating lift. In this way, the house questions everyday notions of how one moves in and around the space.
