The Philip Johnson Glass House is a unique architectural masterpiece located in New Canaan, Connecticut. Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson in 1949, the Glass House is a perfect example of the International Style of architecture.

The Glass House is a simple rectangular structure made entirely of glass and steel, featuring a minimalist design with no interior walls or partitions. The house is set on a beautiful 49-acre property that includes several other buildings designed by Johnson, including a brick house, a painting gallery, and a sculpture gallery.

The house's interior is sparsely furnished with iconic mid-century modern pieces, including a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair and a Le Corbusier chaise lounge. The Glass House also features a small kitchen and bathroom, as well as a fireplace for warmth during colder months.

Visitors to the Glass House can take guided tours of the property and explore the various buildings and gardens on the grounds. The Glass House is a true masterpiece of modern architecture and a must-see attraction for anyone interested in design, art, or history.
