Farnsworth House is the ultimate modernist pavilion with its floor to ceiling glass and minimal structural framework. It was designed by Mies Van der Rohe and completed in 1951. It sits on a 55 acre site outside of Chicago and next to the Fox River. It was designed as a "get away" for the poet and physician Edith Farnsworth. Despite the buildings critical acclaim the structure proved impractical; constantly too hot or too cold, lacking in privacy and susceptible to flooding! We love the building and are very proud of our reproduction.

| I was a little worried about shipping overseas, especially something this fragile and expensive. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. They double boxed it with packing foam. The model itself exceeded my expectations. Truly an amazing product and 10/10 would buy again | |

| Thank you for the most wonderful model that you have made for us of our old house. We absolutely love it. The attention to detail is extraordinary and its so impressive that you were able to do it for some pretty ordinary photos that I sent. It really is a work of art that we shall always treasure. You have been a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. Thank you. | |
