Possibly the most important mid-century modern residence ever built. Does it remind you of a certain design studio?
In the late 1940s, Mies van der Rohe designed the Edith Farnsworth House near Chicago — a masterpiece of minimalism and proportion. Framed in steel and glass, it became a defining Modernist icon. Now open to the public, it’s a must-see for architecture lovers. Would you visit this serene glass retreat?
