Stunning architecture in a magnificent old-growth forest. Prairie Glass House is inspired by some of the great modernist houses of the twentieth century—but it is also unique in many ways. In fact, it is a very twenty-first-century building. All its exterior walls are gentle curves. It has 94 double glass doors opening out onto a magnificent prairie forest. In summer, open all the doors and it is a breezy pavilion. In winter, it is a warm oasis sitting gently in the winter forest. The house is situated in 17 acres of forest on the edge of Champaign IL, a remnant of the original Big Grove, including some of the largest oaks in the region, up to 350 years old. The grounds include: the multi-award winning Victor meditation hut by Jeffery Poss, architect; a picturesque pond with jetty; and the pyramid, a homage to the Mississippian culture and the people who for thousands of years lived in the forest on this very site.
