Product Description

Few one-room homes are as strikingly modern and instantly recognizable as the Farnsworth House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. This single-story steel structure with floor-to-ceiling glass walls was meant to open a minimalist interior to nature in an extreme way. Construction took place from 1945-1951 on a 60-acre estate beside the Fox River in Plano, Illinois, where it still stands today. The assembled Farnsworth House model is over 10" (25cm) wide on a base with printed name label and includes a booklet with facts about the building, its construction and history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Private Sellers Charge Too Much April 25, 2011
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
This kit is available on the LEGO site for under 60 dollars. Private sellers often inflate prices to twenty dollars or more over retail. Be sure to shop around before paying the high prices of resellers.

This kit is fun for anyone who enjoys mid century modern architecture. A short build and a very small model, perfect for your desk or bookshelf. The original Mies house is simple and only one room, around 1500 sq feet. The model reflects this design and even includes tiny furniture. Get it for a decent price and you will be happy with this kit.

Another example of a vendor pricing above the Lego Store. Check out the Lego Store for this product at $59.99

My daughter, 8, is nuts about building with Legos, and she absolutely LOVED this set. Anyone interested in modern architecture or construction with Legos will enjoy building the Farnsworth House.
