The architect Marcel Breuer arrived in Boston in the late 1950’s. Breuer, fresh from a stint at the Bauhaus School, signed on to create a unique modern home in Andover, a town 15 miles north of the city.

Andover was an ideal location for a modern home because it offered plenty of acreage on which to build. Constructed in the late fall, the landscape was often blurred by wind and the blowing of leaves, by undulating roads and long, plush hills that stretched into the gray New England sky. But Breuer’s architecture is alive with a clean and vibrant design. It retains nothing of the harsh winter, and instead brings to life a modern home with white and stone exterior, glass walls, and an open floor plan.

Marcel Breuer was a pioneer of the Bauhaus School. His work on this Boston home exemplifies his dedication and school of thought, a credo that understands building as the most sophisticated form of creativity.

The home is suffused with natural light and features built-in bookcases that stand as dividing walls between rooms.

The Glass Wall looks out over the property’s two acres of land. With it’s abundant light, stone and glass, the design of this modern Boston Home is derived from the lessons of the Bauhaus School.
