His House

| A living playing with the total white. We especially recognize the Barcelona Ottoman from the Bauhaus designer Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1929). |
 |
| Works of art make the décor. Here the miniature sculpture of Continuum by Gotzon Huegun which large format version is displayed on the Plaza Zinkoenea in Hernani. |

| The stairs leading down to the bedroom with its paintings and engravings. |

| The bedroom, separated from the bathroom by a wall of glass bricks and white everywhere to create unity. |
 |
| The “stage door” or dedications and drawings of the many friends and colleagues of Victor. |
