Hi all, first time post here. I'm in search of a house designed by a 20th century artist and it's corresponding house plan. The house must be any of which the actual architect who designed it, resided in. Any links or helpful suggestions where to find one are welcomed. Thanks

Check out Philip Johnsons Glass house. His mentor was Corbusier and he designed it for himself after Corbusier did the Farnsworth house in Plano, Ill. He resided in the house until until the 80s or 90s. The plan is pretty simple with a central core for the mechanical devices. Good luck, hope this helps.

research older periodicals that may have the floor plans. usually architectural record will have them if you can get your hands on an issue from the time the house was built. usually your university library will have that info. go to amazon and search books as well. you can find the info pretty easy you just may have to look a little.
