Yes, I know, it’s Texas, but it’s modern and fabulous and glass and has gardens for days so, maybe I can make an exception, This home, designed by by architect Joshua Nimmo was heavily inspired by the Mies van der Rohe's iconic Farnsworth house, this modern Dallas masterpiece was constructed with 60 tons of steel, over 40 slabs of Calacatta marble and cantilevers over a 5 ft-deep basement with 10,000 square feet. Encased by 9 ft floor to ceiling glass windows, the home ‘floats' over the natural, minimalistic landscape intended to feel like art in park. Custom acoustic ceilings keep sound from bouncing off the glass and concrete while outside there is a pool crafted of absolute black granite in concentric rings that also features a waterfall edge, creating the aesthetic of a floating square water-feature in the middle of the backyard oasis. It’s hyper-modern, and uber large, but I love the house and, especially, the setting. And it can be mine for a hair under 8 million.                            As always, click to emBIGGERate ...  |

Interesting but privacy??
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
The dogs' mother beat me to it. I think I'd feel quite vulnerable in that house knowing that people could see in. Oh I'm sure it's set in acres of private land but still - not for me (not that I could afford it anyway)!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like this. But, Texas. No frickin’ way.
ReplyDeleteI love glass houses in theory, but I wonder how livable they really are. Also -- and I've probably said this here before -- I would always worry about birds smashing into the windows.
ReplyDeleteLove the house. Hate that state. Would never live there.
ReplyDeleteCould I have the blueprints for this one, though? Love the layout and would build a tiny house version of this one (which would still have at least three bedrooms, natch).
I love modern and I don't mind the glass everywhere.
XOXO
Another home for people with 4% body fat.
ReplyDeleteNice STRUCTURE BUT boring as fuck!! I would take everything out and start from scratch. I like color-not saturated. Realistic future pieces and some nice art of different styles. Livable and practical.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, it is in the backwoods somewhere with all that glass! One does like to move about al natural.
Now I have lived in Dallas for 6 years. I have met some nice folks. And Dallas has some beautiful homes.
Can someone tell what the image is on the television screen is?
Not a TV screen ... It's a picture of a nude on her back and someone kneeling beside her. Click on the picture and then you can enlarge it to see it better.
DeleteRemember those anatomical models that had clear plastic skin so you could see all the organs inside? Yeah. That's this house! If I had to live there I know I would spend all my time in the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that comes to mind is Logan's Run.
ReplyDelete@TDM
ReplyDeleteI guess you’d give that up?

@Treaders
It seems private, but, yeah, it’s very open.
@Mitchell
I think parts of Texas would be okay, and if I lived there the state would be a little more Blue and I’d have a fabulous glass house!
@Steve
I worry about who’s sitting in the trees outside looking in!
@Six
There are parts of Texas ... and if the part included this house, and I had the coins, I’m all in!
@Dave
Or people who don’t give a f%k who’s peering in ....
@Victor
For me, it’s the outside through the glass that’s stunning, though I would use some more art and more color, too.
@Marcia
Sharp eyes!
@upton
I like your description.
And the bathroom is as good as any place, I think!
@Maddie
It is that, but I love the sleek and the glass and that setting! Oy!
It's too spare for me. I'm not a minimalist. It looks cold.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It reminds me of and looks as if it was inspired by "Glass House" built in the 1940s in CT.

@Janie
ReplyDeleteIt does need some color and some more furbishing's, but I like the sleek inside and the woodsy outside.

@BosGuy
That was my first thought, too. It's like an expanded version of The Glass House.
Would be nice overlooking Lake Tahoe, on five acres for privacy, and I't have to change some furniture, Jay owned his last white couch in 1989. One was enough,
