Modular Glass House

Description

The iconic Glass House, designed by Philip Johnson in Connecticut, has become a timeless symbol of modern architecture. Beyond being Johnson's personal residence, it served as his vantage point to the world. While a house primarily provides shelter, a glass house offers the unique opportunity to frame and appreciate one's surroundings.

Inspired by the original, the modular glass house takes on a new form, comprising prefabricated components that can be shipped to any location. Following the principles of the original design, it features typical window bays and a structural framework as the outer skin of the building. Alan Ritchie believes that living in a glass house enriches the living experience by immersing individuals in their natural surroundings.
