Wright conceived it so that it did not dominate the waterfall, but overlapped with it like a natural organism. The reinforced concrete terraces seem to slide on the water, while the local stone roots the building to the ground.

The Farnsworth House is an extreme experience: glass and steel as the only elements, the landscape as the absolute protagonist. It is the purest house of modernism, radical in its abstraction. For some uninhabitable, for others the highest form of housing poetry. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3296\" data-end=\"3336\"> Glass House \u0096 Philip Johnson, 1949 <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/case-iconiche-del-novecento-Glass-House-\u0096-Philip-Johnson-1949.jpg\" alt=\"case iconiche del novecento - Glass House \u0096 Philip Johnson, 1949\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3337\" data-end=\"3636\"> American response to Miesian purity, but with greater domesticity. The Glass House, in New Canaan, eliminates the barriers between inside and outside: four walls of glass, a single open space, minimal furnishings. Around it, a park designed as &#8220;green rooms&#8221; which become extensions of the house. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3638\" data-end=\"3683\"> Casa Malaparte \u0096 Adalberto Libera, 1940 <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/case-iconiche-del-novecento-Casa-Malaparte-\u0096-Adalberto-Libera-1940-capri.jpg\" alt=\"case iconiche del novecento - Casa Malaparte \u0096 Adalberto Libera, 1940 capri\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3684\" data-end=\"4065\"> An architectural enigma, suspended between rationalism and Mediterranean lyricism.

The Pompeian red of the facade, the local stone and the spectacular location have made it one of the most iconic and cinematic homes in history. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3684\" data-end=\"4065\"> Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/capri-e-il-design-perche-lisola-del-silenzio-ispira-i-progettisti-di-tutto-il-mondo\/\"> Capri and design: the island that inspires architects and designers around the world <\/a> <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4067\" data-end=\"4134\"> Eames House (Case Study House #8) \u0096 Charles and Ray Eames, 1949 <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/case-iconiche-del-novecento-Eames-House-Case-Study-House-8-\u0096-Charles-e-Ray-Eames-1949.jpg\" alt=\"case iconiche del novecento - Eames House (Case Study House #8) \u0096 Charles e Ray Eames, 1949\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4135\" data-end=\"4475\"> A prototype of modern living. Prefabricated structure in steel and glass, modular spaces, furnishings designed by the owners of the house: the Eames House in Pacific Palisades is a successful experiment in <strong data-start=\"4332\" data-end=\"4354\"> democratic design <\/strong>, where architecture and interior dialogue in perfect harmony.

Elegant environments, fine finishes, cutting-edge details for the time (private swimming pool, lift). Now a FAI property, it is an extraordinary example of how Italian domestic architecture has interpreted modernity and the bourgeoisie. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"4836\" data-end=\"4875\"> Villa Planchart \u0096 Gio Ponti, 1957 <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Villa-Planchart.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Planchart\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Villa-Planchart.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Villa-Planchart-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Villa-Planchart-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Villa-Planchart-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Villa-Planchart-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4876\" data-end=\"5187\"> Considered by many to be Gio Ponti&#8217;s most complete domestic work. Built in Caracas, the Planchart villa embodies his idea of ??an &#8220;Italian house&#8221; projected abroad. Custom-made furnishings, innovative use of color, structural lightness: a total project, in which architecture, art and design come together. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4876\" data-end=\"5187\"> Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/gio-ponti-architetto-del-design-italiano-moderno\/\"> Gio Ponti: architect of modern Italian design <\/a> <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5189\" data-end=\"5229\"> Casa Gilardi \u0096 Luis Barrag\u00e1n, 1976 <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/case-iconiche-del-novecento-Casa-Gilardi-\u0096-Luis-Barragan.jpg\" alt=\"case iconiche del novecento - Casa Gilardi \u0096 Luis Barrag\u00e1n\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5230\" data-end=\"5540\"> Color becomes architecture. In Mexico City, Barrag\u00e1n uses pink and yellow walls, plays of light and a small body of water to transform a private residence into a spiritual experience. It is a rare example of <strong data-start=\"5454\" data-end=\"5478\"> poetic architecture <\/strong>, where living means experiencing a daily aesthetic ritual. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"5542\" data-end=\"5580\"> Casa Rotonda \u0096 Mario Botta, 1982 <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/case-iconiche-del-novecento-Casa-Rotonda-\u0096-Mario-Botta.jpg\" alt=\"case iconiche del novecento - Casa Rotonda \u0096 Mario Botta\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5581\" data-end=\"5809\"> A perfect top hat in the Ticino countryside.
