Description: Like Bruno Taut's glass house and Mies van der Rohe's projects in the first half of this century, the Hauer-King House forms a landmark in the history of glass houses, taking Modern architecture forward into the new millennium. Future Systems, one of the most innovative practices in the world today, has created a showcase: the house exemplifies the architects' space-age aesthetic.

The use of glass creates a sense of weightlessness and transparency, yet the exterior conceals a functional domestic home in which everything has been carefully designed to create a comprehensive modern living environment.
