- The Glass House is an iconic Modernist masterpiece located in New Canaan, Connecticut. Designed and constructed in 1949 by the renowned American architect Philip Johnson, this striking structure is celebrated for its minimalist and transparent design. The house consists of a single-story glass pavilion with no interior walls, providing unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape and blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The use of large glass panels, steel columns, and a flat roof creates a seamless connection with nature and a sense of openness.
Beyond the Glass House, the property encompasses a carefully curated landscape of roughly 50 acres. The surrounding landscape includes meadows, ponds, and various sculptures, creating an artistic and serene atmosphere. The property features several other notable structures, such as the Brick House, which stands in contrast to the transparency of the Glass House with its solid brick walls and intimate interior spaces. The Painting Gallery is another significant addition, showcasing Johnson and Whitney's extensive art collection, which includes works by prominent artists like Frank Stella and Andy Warhol.
Over the years, the Glass House has been meticulously preserved and maintained as a National Trust Historic Site, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate its beauty and significance. As a living embodiment of Philip Johnson's design philosophy and artistic sensibilities, the Glass House stands as a timeless testament to the power of architecture to engage with the natural world and inspire creativity for generations to come. Today, the Glass House is open to the public, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the brilliance of Philip Johnson's vision and his harmonious integration of architecture with nature.

The narrator has a deep love for this place and a lovely voice. Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge about this beautiful house.
Simplicity & minimalism goes such a long way, the architecture looks timeless 👏🏼
I think the one thing that make's this house so wonderful is the absolute perfection in the scale and proportion of the house. Even the furniture and landscape is proportional . So many contemporary architects get so wrapped up in their own egos that they fumble these basics.
I remember learning about this house in college. What a great video
Excited to hear you enjoyed the video!
Ideal to live in and grow all you want, plants and trees with full sun!
You are so appealing. I finally had a chance to visit the glass house last year. Walking through the front door was more of an an emotional moment for me than I had expected. Hope to come back someday.
Such tranquility, harmony and serenity. ❤
What a jewel !
It's a beautiful space!
Thank you for such a beautiful and informative tour.

I would have loved to be a guest there. What a wonderful experience it would have been to hang out with Philip Johnson.
SUPER!!!!!!
Hope there is Radio, that will play in my Head - Life in a Glasshouse
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful!
Pretty Damn close to perfection
I can imagine the sound when those steel sled chairs move along the unevenly tiled floor.
The landscape is unreal!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
only 5300 likes should be a million more
Living in a glass house in a Connecticut Shire is something I could do.
wow
Wow, such genuis needed to build a glass rectangular box.
Give me a break, without the landscape this would be a glass box that any designer or architect can put on paper in their sleep.
if you pretend youre swiming its like an aquarium from outside
Austerity architecture are defined since mankind started it, aren’t it?
Not so much a simple design. The materials alone are quite amazing. Look at those huge windows, and the full-height glass doors. Is there a video that shows the construction of this landmark?
if you can see someone outside they can see you
Mom! tell my friends I’m not home 😅
Un havre de paix 😔
immortal
Gorgeous. But I can't help but wonder how many birds are hurt or killed flying into these walls.
None are
Who cares
Mentions MOMA but then jumps to him going back to school in his 30's to study architecture. Sadly, he spent his 20's as a forceful proponent of American fascism and all the ugliness of that movement. He did say later that it was his greatest regret to have been involved.
people who live in a glass house change their clothes in the basement.
😂
@@Molloy1951 i wasn't joking sir/ma'am. its the truth.
Вряд ли миру интересны их труселя и голые задницы 🤢
Well, it's funny because it's true!
@@april_may_or_may_not i think you haven't heard of curtains.
We fight a bunch of robberies in miotowo to rob what they robbing money and collapse in bunch of them nuim
That pool should be painted dark. The bright blue is so out of place.
We can say that when you are there in person the pool is beautiful the way it is. Appreciate your comment and watching!
The world is still trying to recover from this movement. Glass, steel, concrete, social isolation, impractical, totally ignoring ergonomics.
I agree it's great, but-this is not usable in our society..modern housing is for all people..
I still don't understand how CT/NY can have such amazing architects and houses......and most of the houses here look like pure garbage.
Don't throw rocks😂
Looks like a greenhouse 😆
This entire property and everything in it could easily take a set in year 3000 AD and still won't be outdated.
Agreed!
I loved going here. Growing up in CT this is one of the coolest spots we have to visit. It's such a beautiful property
Johnson had a complicated past.... I am not in favour of cancel culture, and fully support these efforts to preserve the glass house. I do think it's important though to state - and confront - what Johnson said was his inspiration for it.
I wonder if Johnson and Mies developed any animosity over making very similar houses (Glass House and Farnsworth House)... particularly after sharing the idea.
Another great installment in this series. There's something about the simplicity and elegance of this house that makes it differently appealing than the other homes that have been covered. Gwen seemed like the perfect person to talk about the history of the house, with her knowledge and understated delivery.
We're glad you enjoyed the video and couldn't agree more with Gwen being a phenomenal voice for The Glass House
Cleaning windows in this house is fun😅
this reminds me of a place i saw maybe 6 years ago when I was living in Bali, at the time it was abandoned but it's probably completely leveled at this point. It was a beachside building, likely a house but I'm not sure, made almost entirely of glass with only a few concrete/metal beams for structural integrity. It was seriously magnificent even in its sad abandoned state, with stairs of glass, walls of glass, not just clear class but carved, frosted and textured glass too, it had huge mass of seaglass "pebbles" as a ground-cover (one of which I kept). Memory is a bit hazy, but I still remember how cool it was.
Do you remember where abouts in Bali? We live here and have just started building, sounds like a cool bit of Inspo to go and check out!
@@THEISLANDFAM it was on a beach, likely pemuteran? not sure.
C'est magnifique!
nice grading 🎨
Thank you!
Stunning and Christa does a wonderfl job. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you and greetings from Holland.
Glad you enjoyed it! And agreed Christa is doing amazing things over at the foundation
Beautiful simplicity. But got to be horrifying when sleeping here at night. Like being in your own horror movie.
love the new branding
Thanks!
！！！！I've seen this house in lumion's default project, so it came from here
I know why I love these modernist glass houses it’s because I don’t want to look at walls xxx
I don't think he had a hand in creating that handicapped ramp.
Really like this style to introduce properties.
I automatically think of the glass church (Wayfarers Chapel) in California. It’s mainly used for weddings. They had to cancel their wedding schedule, for at least a year, to address the shifting land in the area. Hopefully the structure won’t be damaged. The glass church was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
how could i visit this place? i want to observe closely and dive once in life there
You can visit their site to get set up on a tour! theglasshouse.org
Fascinating and Inspirational.
Small world eh...
Beautiful, thank you.
Thank you too!
The glass house is great, but where did he wash and dry his clothes?
There is a guesthouse near the house, i guess there
Great....Glass Lover
What a beauty ❤ a gem ❤ a paradise ❤ 🩵
