meandmybentley: Inspired by two of the 20th century’s most iconic residences, Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson’s Glass House, the Binocular House is an architectural masterpiece worthy of its own acclaim. Designed by Columbia University professor and noted architect Michael Bell as an essay in transparency, the magic of the single-story house is the method it frames and consumes the views of the surrounding woodlands. The insulated glass wall perimeter provides an indoor-outdoor experience from every room with vistas through the house and across the courtyard from any angle. At night, the precisely defined and uber-minimal interiors become glowing sculptural spaces that offer a cinematic living experience and panoramas as captivating as those during the day. Whatever hour you approach the near 13 acre property from the quarter mile driveway that passes through rolling farmland, the house presents itself as having multiple layers that dematerialise into the site and one another.
