HISTORY: Mies van der Rohe, one of the founding fathers of International Modern architecture, made the ultimate statement in the glass box house with this design for Dr. Edith Farnsworth. This seminal house became the model for uncounted houses since, but few if any have ever achieved its peaceful, perfectly proportioned presence.This set of plans includes extensive and highly detailed drawings showing how Mies achieved his minimalist effects.
As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer an excellent starting point. Outside dimensions are approximately 51\' x 59\', including the terrace.
The prints you are purchasing are crisp, high resolution black line copies on white bond paper. The original drawings were beautifully delineated in 2009, by the Historic American Building Survey.
SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, by US Postal Service, rolled, not folded, in a tube.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUILD: These plans are NOT complete architectural drawings as might be required by your local permitting agency and do not contain all the structural, waterproofing and other details and information necessary for construction. But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL Modernist home, not a pseudo-Modern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: Orders shipped to addresses outside the USA may be subject to customs duties at their destination. The buyer is responsible for any such duties. (MM003)
