One of Richard Neutra's three vacation villas in Switzerland is up for sale. This is the Rentsch House { 1963-65 ), not published in the architect's Complete Works, most likely due to the fact that thE~ village of Wengen where it is located demanded a pitched roof rather than the flat roof shown in the original design c,f 1959-60. Design aficionado Tyler Brule should really hailfe this huge house with its sweeping expanses of glass opening to spectacular views of the Jungfrau. Its intended "internationally valid form language" does not at all pander to any local context or building tradition. Forty years after its construction it still looks new, refreshinglir neutral and modern.
