The 5 most iconic houses of the 20th century

The first one has to be the Fallingwater house by Frank Lloyd Wright, built in 1937 in Pennsylvania. This one, which sits on a natural waterfall, is a clear example of organic architecture. Currently, it is a national monument in the US that serves as a museum.

In the suburbs of Paris we can find one of the most important contributions of modern architecture in the 20th century: Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye (1929). It is currently museum and is protected as a national French monument.

The Glass House, by Philip Johnson, was built in 1949 in Connecticut, for his thesis project at the University of Harvard. Currently also used as a museum. This project stands under the concept of "less is more"; his goal was to reach simplicity and clarity.

UNESCO has recognized Luis Barragán House Studio, located in Mexico City, as a World Heritage Site. A house on what is traditional and what is modern coexist perfectly with a predominance of bright colours.

Finally, the Steiner House by Adolf Loos, built in 1910 and located in Vienna. The particularity of this house is found in the curved roof made of sheet metal.
