All-glass house inspired by the Pompidou Center in Paris
This unique glass and steel house was designed and engineered by the renowned Barbara Corwin, whose work is lauded for its striking creativity and brilliant composition. Sought after by a long list of hopeful clients, Corwin only accepts the most profound challenges. She has certainly proved her prowess with this unique and stunning show home.
 This ultra modern all-glass house was inspired by the world famous Pompidou Center in Paris, home of the French Museum of Modern Art, designed in the late 1970s by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano.
When the architect Richard Rogers received the coveted Pritzker Prize in 2007, the jury noted that the large pipes and exposed mechanicals of the Pompidou Center had "turned the architecture world upside down."
The house also evokes the prismatic cubes and vast glass planes of the work of Richard Meier and the Gwathmey-Siegel partnership.
