It's been named 'America’s Most Significant Modernist House.' Industrialist and philanthropist J. Irwin Miller and his wife Xenia Simons Miller built and designed their home in 1953 that epitomizes the international modernist aesthetic that is now owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
The house has an open and flowing layout, flat roof and stone and glass walls. The rooms were configured under a grid pattern of skylights supported by steel columns and are filled with textiles that feature strong bright colors and playful patterns. Surrounding the house are large geometric gardens and honey locust trees.
In 2000, the Miller House became the first National Historic Landmark to receive that title while one of its designers, Dan Kiley, was still living and while still occupied by its original owners.
What I love about this house was that it needed to suit a family with kids, employees and entertaining. It was designed in the '50s to do so, and it's still so relevant and timeless.
