what a beautiful home!!!!! absolutely lovely.
The problem...which Johnson discovered later, at night from inside, the glass looks like black walls. He installed a complex system for exterior night lighting to lessen the "black out" effect.
wow the idea of the glass house is amazing wish to have one
This house design is based in the Farnsworth house, designed by Mies van der Rohe
One should visit the Philip Johnson estate which many examples of his work over 50+ years including the "Glass" House.
Look it up!
Interesting and amazing!
It would have been nice to see more of the interior space. Like the kitchen or something.
That will cost you $75. It's now a touring attraction in New Canaan, CT.
vipahman ah, thanks. I just went and looked and found pictures of it on Pinterest.
It’s a beautiful structure...but there are “living” issues. At night, from the inside, the walls of glass will appear black. There are also no curtains or shades, so you are up with the sun. It’s really something built for a weekend retreat rather than a full time home. This is why he built the sister home on the property....fully enclosed.
He actually had another non-glass house very close by which is where he slept and where the bathroom was.
Thanks, otherwise its just plain ridiculous.
You know what they say: Those who live in glass Houses, need a curtain from time to time.
Beautiful Home.
For what? Didnt see a bedroom or bathroom, let alone a kitchen.
Thanks for not putting in any interior shots. Was this done by an intern? 🙄🙄🙄
My grandfather did all the masonry work on it
What are the major pitfalls of glass houses? Heat retention, ventilation, privacy? I know nothing about design nor architecture but I've been looking at some sort of polytunnel house, and was wondering what the general challenges are.
Privacy isnt a big deal on 50 acres
birds killing themselves on the windows. Bugs crapping on the windows.
I know in my state you can only have so much glass because of heat loss. It changes with the r factors but a full glass house wouldn't fly in my state.
I wonder if it has a bedroom and is it enclosed?
Why don't they show it! It's all from outside and dark.
Red red
The glass house is "to look out from..." No. Really?
It would be interesting to design a house with no glass (just solid doors, shutters etc.) and see only the interior environment.
Lol i just downloaded this in Sketchuo warehouse and modified it
The curator does not mention that the Glass House does not have any screens for its doors and windows. In other words, flies and mosquitos LOVE this house. Idiocy.
The curator only repeats architects "mantra". She never ever lived in a glass house; that as you say; those glass acts as a magnified glass with the Sun (I have big glass wall in my house and you need curtains at about 15cm from the glass to fight with the Sun heating the room)
Mosquitoes etc; so you do not have crossed ventilation; etc
Also; is not like she said; still the house is not integrated there. Could be easy integrated but still as most houses in a land; just a cube on the grass. No doubt that the non straight ground helps but...
@@TheReverb1 Stupid house. Stupid architect. Stupid curator.
So pleased that you agree with me. Why, why why is there all this stupid piety regarding this house? It is merely a monument to an inflated ego.
mad closeup of the moles on the narraters face but no closeups of fthe house, thanks, poor cameraman so much glare
Glass house: So transparent it basically doesn't exist.
Conservative New Classicists: "Ew! That object is so ugly! Make it a Georgian style stone and brick box!"
Didn’t he build a literal brick box on the site?
prepare for robbers
Gay house nice nice
Mature, sensitive and thoughtful "comment"........
