The Glass House

I've never been to the Glass House .

Architect Phillip Johnson's weekend house, the Glass House is located in New Canaan, CT. Though people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, it seems as if Johnson is the only person to have slept here. It is a small, unique home built entirely of glass and steel. The bathroom however is a windowless bricked in column.

The house truly is not so exposing as it may seem. It is situated on a wooded 47 acre estate, shielded by a stone wall, beneath a canopy of oaks and maples, looking down onto a pond and meadow.


That I'd like to see.
