...floor plan so shrewdly thought out that 80% of the building's enclosed space is usable, in contrast to about 65% in ordinary dwellings. Like the Motohome, it has a prefabricated bathroom, a kitchen which includes a washing machine and electric dishwasher with its standard equipment. No particular exterior finish is specified.

The outside of the house is a light grey, needs no paint. Extra rooms can be added from...
...easily shows a surly temper. . . . [His] love is more of the head than the heart, more theological than evangelical." Of his wife Gemma and the children she bore him Papini says hardly a word.
