Chicago Suburbs | Edith Farnsworth House

I’ve seen it countless times in textbooks and models, but standing right in front of it, I was still struck by its minimalist beauty～ 🌲 A transparent house nestled in the woods, with white steel columns and a horizontal roof outlining simple geometric shapes. The glass almost blurs the boundary between inside and outside. Light and tree shadows slowly drift across the walls, filling the entire space. The whole structure feels like a glass box floating by the river. 🪑 The furniture is even more captivating—the Barcelona sofa and MR chair complement the space perfectly, blending calmness with warmth. 📍 14520 River Rd, Plano, IL 60545 Notes: Make sure to book your visit in advance on the website. It’s about an hour’s drive from downtown Chicago, and don’t be late—you might miss the tour! 🫠 Have you visited any architectural gems lately?
