Columbus, Indiana
United States
This home, designed by Eero Saarinen, was commissioned by the family of philanthropist J. Miller Irwin in Columbus, Indiana. Miller House, completed in 1957, is a good example of mid-century “modernist” architecture, characterized by the use of steel framework and glass enclosures.
The home is situated on a rectangular plot of 13 hectares which extends from a busy road to the river. To complete the design of this home, Saarinen collaborated with a team of complementary professionals: interior designer Alexander Girard and landscape architect Daniel Kiley.
This house has attracted attention due to the characteristics of the main living space, sometimes even creating controversy. This living area is located in a great open space in the center of the house and features a sunken conversation pit which can be accessed by five steps.
In 2000, the property was restored after an infusion of of approximately two million dollars. It was declared a National Historic Landmark and was re-opened to the public.
