Nature Living

History:

The Farnsworth House (1945 – 1951) is an iconic work of modern American architecture. It was designed by renowned modern architect Mies van der Rohe in 1937 and was the first home he designed in America

My Creation:

The Farnsworth project takes living within nature to a whole new level. I decided to redefine the geographical location of the original project to a Creekside location within a canyon. My goal for this project was to build with minimal impact to the surrounding area. Imagine waking up, opening your bedroom blinds only to discover the wildlife living just inches away. This design takes an iconic structure and brings it into the modern era while preserving the nature surrounding it.
