| A house with no walls to hide behind. Johnson built himself a glass box in a Connecticut field and lived in it for fifty-eight years. This is the Glass House as an architect sees it - accurate in proportion and detail, modelled from real geometry rather than a stylised impression. The black steel frame, the brick cylinder anchoring the plan, the perfect quarter-inch precision of the most famous single room in America. The 120mm x 120mm base includes the surrounding context to scale: the lawn promontory and the stone wall edge of the New Canaan estate rendered in low relief - because a building is never just a building. It is an idea you can hold. The view that changes with every season. The house that is really a garden pavilion for living. THE DETAILS - Architecturally accurate scale model on a 120mm x 120mm (12cm) base - Designed by an architect - Printed and hand-finished in our St Albans studio - Matte white finish - no paint, no gimmicks, just the architecture - Sits beautifully on a desk, shelf or mantelpiece; no assembly required WHO THIS IS FOR Architects, designers and modernist pilgrims who made the New Canaan trip. A graduation or retirement gift, a desk piece for the minimalist who has everything - except walls. |
