The Philip Johnson Glass House is a 47 acre property in New Canaan, Connecticut. It was built in 1949 and designed by Philip Johnson, as his own residence.

Tours are available from May 1 – November 30. I sincerely hope you enjoy the experience as much as our design team did! Here is how to plan your tour >>
