Architecture
The Farnsworth House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is a modernist architectural masterpiece featuring minimalist design, glass walls, and a serene natural setting along the Fox River.
Master architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created the ultimate minimalist masterpiece, the Farnsworth House, in pastoral Plano. The stellar structure of floor-to-ceiling glass seemingly "floats" above the rambling Fox River. TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Winner 2015!
