De Glazen Boerderij, Modern glass building in Schijndel, Netherlands
The four-story structure features a glass facade composed of one thousand individual panels, reaching a height of fourteen meters above the market square.
Following World War II bombings in Schijndel's center, this 2013 building represents the transformation from traditional farmhouses to contemporary architectural designs.
The glass panels incorporate photographs of traditional local farmhouses, connecting the modern structure to the agricultural heritage of the Meierijstad region.
