We need to acknowledge that relating to the best American architects it was Mies van der Rohe the architect who designed the very first Glass House. Due to litigation, Ms Farnsworth did not allow Mies to mention her home as the Glass House, however the follower Philip Johnson did. You can imagine how Mies van der Rohe felt while he saw Philip Johnson naming his design as the 1st Glass House.
Fort Lauderdale architects, award-winning Rex Nichols Architects (RNA) created a contemporary version of the Glass House (Farnsworth House) modern home designed by Mies van der Rohe.
The scene within this home will probably be – everything. A developer is ready to begin construction of the all-glass house in Fort Lauderdale’s posh Las Olas Isles neighborhood. Your home will feature a wide open floor-plan with floor-to-ceiling, unobstructed views from the yard. A wrap-around, L- shaped pool, Jacuzzi and waterfall will likely be accessible through exposed sliding glass doors at the back of the house.
Jeff Hendricks Developers Inc. will construct the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom residence in Fort Lauderdale. It “absolutely” may have hurricane-impact glass, said Jeff Hendricks, president of the Miami development firm. “Every home possesses its own identity,” he stated. “It’s where art meets architecture, where it is one.” Hendricks said “contemporary homes are evolving.” The key is be “creative with new design, be innovative with new design.”

Based on the news release, “the Glass House” will set you back about $5 million once its completed mid-2019. Located below one hour outside of Miami-Dade County, a home is within two miles from Fort Lauderdale beach.
In a press release, top Miami architects RNA design leader for contemporary architecture, Alex Penna says the home’s inspiration originated in adding a modern day aesthetic with a similar steel and glass house constructed in 1945 by architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe. Penna also says he’s influenced by Deconstruction – the college of philosophy initiated by Jacques Derrida as well as the psychoanalytic approach of Jacques Lacan. The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom, property will probably be an open-concept space with floor to ceiling unobstructed views of a private backyard. An open plan kitchen, living area, and great room build the ideal atmosphere for entertaining, while still receiving a family living appeal. A spacious office with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors right in front of the house provides a serene and sweeping space.
The abode will likely incorporate a wrap-around pool and Jacuzzi, detailed with an infinity waterfall, that’s accessible through exposed french doors. What really distinguishes “the Glass House” from modernist architects is the fact that the style isn’t primarily searching for function, however it is and then to develop a building design that can be seen as sculpture. The contemporary Glass House not merely endeavors to stay away from the pure functionalism and simple forms of Mid-Century architecture, by offering emphasis on the building aesthetic perfectly into a sculptural design, it also incorporates sustainability design with LEED standards.

Penna, the architect firm’s design leader who holds a grandfathered LEED AP® accreditation, is happy to build Fort Lauderdale’s first glass house by LEED standards, notes an announcement. LEED AP accreditation is through the U.S. Green Building Council, a private, membership-based non-profit organization that promotes sustainability in building design, construction, and operation. In the exclusive interview with Curbed Miami, Penna explained that even though the project owner didn’t request a LEED certified home, his RNA team built it with LEED’s sustainability principles.
For Penna’s version of the “Glass House,” he devoted to three LEED standards -energy-efficiency design, innovation in design, and recycled materials which, for all intended purposes, creates an eco-friendly design home.
“Because the job location is in Florida, we [were] inspired by energy-efficiency design, providing shading, daylight-efficiency, and cross ventilation,” Penna says. By way of example, Penna and company used high-end daylight and sunlight computer simulator software to create a canopy that blocks the sunlight at noon and during the summer to succeed in the interior of the home. There’s more innovation.
As an illustration, in the living room, a sun-shelf redirects year-long sunshine beams that goes through the skylight to turn into a supply of daylight to light up the room, Penna says.”The redirection with the sunlight will enhance daylight levels, distribution and quantity,” Penna says. “This is a great strategy for saving cash on electricity for the complete year.”
The property also uses composite wood (a sort of recycled wood with thermoplastic components), high energy-efficiency heating pumps, roof icynene insulation from renewable materials, and insulated low-e glass.
