The Six Pillar House is particularly from the International Style, and was a result of three circumstances and events that confronted architects in the late 19th century: • “The growth of a lot of dissatisfaction by the architects with the continued and repetitive use of a mix of decorative elements from different architectural periods and styles to build buildings that had little or no relation to the building’s functions at that moment.” • “the creation of large numbers of office buildings and other commercial for the economy, residential, and civic structures that served a rapidly industrializing society.” • “ the development of new building technologies that focused for the most part on the use new material such as iron and steel, reinforced

According to the book Lubetkin by John Allan , Harding experimented with the “full gamut” of Corbusian devices, with duplex spaces, pilots, sculptural staircase, strip windows, screwball and promenade, the street facade is a clear fusion of Villa Stein and Villa Savoie (1992, P179). Similarities between the Six pillars and the Villa Savoye are very evident, both entrances have columns or pillars, both have the living room and even maid rooms on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are in the first floor, while the last floor have either a study or a free space surrounded.

• Freely-designed facades, serving only as a skin of the wall and windows and unconstrained by load-bearing considerations. Corbusier was able to carefully design all four sides of the Villa Savoye in response to the view and the orientation of the sun. Starting from the ground floor there is the hall, the wash, the garage, the maids room and the staircase in the center, on the first floor we have a salon, bedrooms, the bath, the kitchen and two terrace, so most of the important room are on the first floor. Similarly to the Six pillar the second floor hosts an open space. Some differences on the other hand can be the shape of the rooms and their exact location. Most if not all the rooms on the Villa Savoye are rectangular shaped, while on the Six Pillar they are shaped according to The wall. The bedrooms in the Six Pillars actually all square shaped and attached to one another, while the bedrooms in the Villa Savoye are attached to the wall and corporate the hall. The pilot is of the Villa Savoye located in almost all sides of the house while the Six Pillars has it on the facade
