In designing Newman House, the architects thus wanted to push that natural aspect. The home is covered primarily with white tiling, which leaves the eye to be drawn to the nature around it. It also has an interesting, [striated lawn pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rua-polnia-house) that aims to gradually bring people from the outside to the inside rather than abruptly crossing a threshold.
