Glass House, Modernist house in Morumbi, São Paulo, Brazil

The Glass House features horizontal concrete slabs supported by thin columns, with large glass panels offering views of the surrounding forest landscape.

Architect Lina Bo Bardi designed and built this residence in 1951 as a personal home, integrating modernist principles with Brazilian architectural elements.

The residence functions as an exhibition space and cultural center, displaying art collections while maintaining its original residential character and furniture.

Visitors must schedule guided tours in advance to explore the building, which remains under protection as a national heritage site.

The structure incorporates trees from the external garden through a central courtyard, creating a seamless connection between interior spaces and nature.
