Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House (1951) is perhaps the most influential single-family house ever built: a single rectangular glass room suspended above the Fox River floodplain on eight white steel columns. Every element of the interior is visible from the exterior and vice versa, pushing the idea of "less is more" to its absolute extreme. It is now a museum and UNESCO candidate site.
