Glass Residence

The house was designed for a client who wanted to build a new retreat in the Bay Area woods. The building site is on a slope. The concept for the house was inspired by the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois designed by Mies van der Rohe.

Contemporary Bay Area home design by Studio Etude — the Glass Residence featuring expansive glass walls, concrete structure,

The design has been reimagined and redesigned to become “ The new Glass House” to provide a widespread view of the woods, using floor-to-ceiling operable windows.  The exposed concrete finish, with the ambient light provided by the sconces and steel frames of the windows, creates an atmosphere space reminiscent of 1970 architecture.
