“The experience and meaning of a labyrinth has endured from early times and in many cultures: that of adventure through a life of fortune and misfortune, in pursuit of life’s purpose, its source and its uncertain outcome.

The curved, textured walls of the Labyrinth House, built of heavy cast concrete and extending to various heights, occasionally budged into other rooms, expressing the pressure of functions and furnishings in the adjoining room. Floor to ceiling glass walls joined one concrete wall with another.

The walls of the 3,130-square-foot home were formidably rough on the outside, while the inside surfaces (which are those that the organism - marine or human - lives against) are covered with handmade glass tiles, cushions, and hand-painted Fortuny silk fabrics.” 

- from John M Johansen: A life in the Continuum of Modern Architecture

Willis Mills, president of the Connecticut Society of Architects, said that architects made pilgrimages from all over the world to see the house's curved forms and revel in "its rich juxtaposition of surfaces" - the contrast of its rough concrete exterior and its seamless seashell-smooth interior.

This one-of-a-kind house, bought and then subsequently destroyed by its new owner, TV personality Phil Donohue, is considered to be one of the great losses in Modern Architecture.
