Philip Johnson's 1949 Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut was designed in the International style. Situated on a 47-acre property, the landscape surrounding the Glass House was meant to reflect a painting of nature with areas of grass, trees, and sloping ground. The Glass House maximized views of the outdoor landscape through its dynamic use of proportion, geometry, and glass. It had a steel frame structure with minimal interior divisions besides a brick cylinder for the bathroom and fireplace, making it a single open room exposed to ventilation and lighting from all sides.
