Abstract
The Braxton-Shore house has been considered as an exemplar of ′space architecture′ – an architecture of ′space forms′ which R. M. Schindler believed distinguished his work from contemporary functionalists and internationalists. To achieve such′ space architecture′, Schindler utilized a proportional system of a space reference frame as a mental tool. This paper first outlines the spatial scheme of the Braxton-Shore house, explains Schindler′s space reference frame, and finally interprets the proportional design of the house in analogy with the ′row′ system, the Fibonacci and Lucas sequence, and musical ratios.
