The Glass House was built in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1949. The building was designed by Phillip Johnson as his own residence. As you can see in the picture above, the house was designed using early use of materials for home design such as steel and glass. The building uses aspects of minimal structure, geometry, proportion, and the effects of transparency and reflection.
The house strikes me as a beautiful building in a couple of ways. First, the building utilizes natural light very well to illuminate the home during the day. Second, it allows the residence to feel connected with nature because of its openness.
