I found a great oak tree and I hung a whole design on the oak tree and the knoll because this place. Don’t forget, it is more of a landscape park than it is a work of architecture, anyhow. It’s more a memory of the English parks of the 18th century, which are called English gardens, for some reason.

Classic tropical villa home where almost every square foot of the L-shaped home is floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the gorgeously manicured backyard with pool. You can’t get more of a glass house than that except for maybe a glass roof. The straight lines are tempered with huge jutting round wing which looks really cool. It’s hard to tell whether the entire design would be better off all straight lines. Fascinating geo-shaped house with loads of glass whee the remaining sides/roof is a grass roof.

The interior is open with the space divided by low walnut cabinets; a brick cylinder contains the bathroom and is the only object to reach floor-to-ceiling. The Glass House, built between 1949 and 1995 by famed architect Philip Johnson in New Canaan, Connecticut, is one of the nation’s greatest modern architectural landmarks.

With all the modern architecture in the area, it’s kind of great to see a relic of what used to be so profuse in this area and this Hermosa Beach Airbnb is a great example of that. Once featured on the cover of “Home” magazine, this Hermosa Beach Airbnb surely has more magazine covers in its future. Just 500 yards from the beach, this house features not only enormous windows that face the outside but playful window features inside as well.

The floor plan of the Glass House reveals a fairly traditional living space. Although there are no walls, Philip Johnson referred to areas within the rectangular, loft-like space as “rooms.” There is a kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom, hearth area, bathroom, and an entrance area.
The main garage also serves as an event space and can be completely opened on two sides for through views. The reflective, opaque, translucent, and clear treatments are in fact specialized films that were repeatedly tested and refined until the desired performance and aesthetic was achieved.
