Philip Johnson's Glass House Tours
New Canaan, Connecticut
Friday, Oct 23 10:30am
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Glass House Tour is sold out and no further reservatins can be take. Thank you for your interest
An hour-and-a-half, on-site tour of architect Philip Johnson’s private residence, the Glass House, a 47-acre property in New Canaan, CT.
The Glass House, built in 1949 in New Canaan, Connecticut was designed by Philip Johnson, a Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate. Johnson’s Glass House has been called one of the world’s most beautiful and yet least functional homes. Johnson did not envision it as a place to live so much as a stage…and a statement. The house is often cited as a model example of the International Style.
