This incredible modernist glass house was designed by NIMMO Architecture, located on 1.33 acres in Dallas, Texas. Inspired by the Farnsworth House designed by German-American architect, Mies van der Rohe. The home is constructed with concrete, steel, glass, and marble. The home is very eco-friendly and runs on a generator.

Inspired by the famous Farnsworth house, this modern masterpiece was constructed with 60 tons of steel, over 40 slabs of Calacatta marble and cantilevers over a 5 foot-deep basement. This dwelling encompasses 6,325 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms.

A little too exposed for me but it is no joke. The Farnsworth House is a famous and beautiful house that unfortunately was built too close to a river that floods. Hopefully they chose a better and dryer location for this house.

i’ve never understood the fascination with the farnsworth house, but to each his own. the farnsworth house was sited based on a 100 year flood cycle. what van der rohe did not anticipate was all the development that would occur in the chicago area. that’s why the place has flooded at least a half dozen times in the 6 decades since it was built. that said, this house is a very scaled up version of the fansworth house, and the design just didn’t scale well.
