The Glass House

The Glass House refers to a famous modernist house designed by architect Philip Johnson, completed in 1949 in New Canaan, Connecticut. Characterized by its extensive use of glass walls and minimalist design, the structure blurs the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors, allowing natural light and surrounding nature to play a crucial role in the living experience. Part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Glass House showcases Johnson's architectural vision and has become an iconic example of mid-20th century architecture, representing themes of transparency, simplicity, and harmony with the environment.
