The Glass House, New Canaan, Connecticut

This glass-walled house designed by Architect Philip Johnson is a one-story house that features an idyll of streamlined clarity. It was completed in 1949 and is entirely encased by crystalline walls. Its bathroom is a sanctum sanctorum that is confined in a floor-to-ceiling redbrick cylinder. According to the architect, the form of the bath was inspired by the chimneys of European houses during the 1930's.
