Inspired by an icon. Built for the way you live now.
There’s a reason Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House has captivated architects, artists, and dreamers for more than seventy years. Its quiet geometry. Its dialogue with the landscape. Its idea that a home could be a frame for nature itself. The Bauhaus Modern carries that lineage forward—reimagined for modern life, modern families, and modern timelines.
At 2,432 square feet (32′ × 76′, patio included), this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home opens with a grand entry that flows into a soaring Great Room with views in all four directions. Ten-foot windows wrap all four sides of the home, dissolving the line between inside and out. Light moves through the space all day. The covered patio extends your living outward, offering an elegant, sheltered place to gather, dine, or simply sit with your morning coffee and watch the world wake up.

The Bauhaus Origins of Our Bauhaus Modern Home
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus, and the making of the modern steel-and-glass home
Our Bauhaus Modern home descends from one of the most consequential design movements of the twentieth century, and from the architect who carried it to its purest expression. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was born in Aachen, Germany, the son of a stonemason, and trained not at a university but through apprenticeship — first with the designer Bruno Paul, then in the Berlin office of Peter Behrens, alongside Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier.1 By the late 1920s he had become one of Germany’s leading modernists, distilling his philosophy into two phrases that still define restraint in design: “less is more” and “God is in the details.”2 His German Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition and the Villa Tugendhat, completed in 1930, remain touchstones of the International Style.3
In 1930 Mies became the third and final director of the Bauhaus, the revolutionary German school that fused art, craft, and industry. He led it through its move from Dessau to Berlin and its closure in 1933 under National Socialist pressure, then emigrated to the United States in 1938, where he directed the architecture school at the Armour Institute — today the Illinois Institute of Technology — and went on to build the Farnsworth House and the Seagram Building.4,5 Our Bauhaus Modern home carries that lineage forward: clean geometry, honest steel-and-glass structure, and interiors shaped by the conviction that less, done exactly right, is more.
