Influential American architect <a href=\"http:\/\/theglasshouse.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Philip Johnson<\/a>\u2019s legacy is multifaceted. For one, Johnson was founder of the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art. Additionally, he&#8217;s known as much for his New York City landmarks as for his work on the Crystal Cathedral in Orange County, California. Johnson&#8217;s oeuvre also counts a more modest but no less stunning structure among its accomplishments: that of The Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full-size wp-image-32823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Philip-Johnson-Glass-House-2.jpg\" alt=\"Philip Johnson Glass House 2\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Philip-Johnson-Glass-House-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Philip-Johnson-Glass-House-2-526x350.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Philip-Johnson-Glass-House-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Philip-Johnson-Glass-House-2-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n<p>Built in 1949, <a href=\"http:\/\/theglasshouse.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Glass House<\/a> \u2014 also known as The Johnson House \u2014 is situated on a promontory overlooking a pond and wooded area in the distance.

When <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boora.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boora Architects<\/a> in Portland, Oregon were approached by clients to design their dream home on Arcadia Beach, the directive was simple: &#8220;The site is ruled by the sea, the landscape and the climate, and the homeowners wanted to keep it that way.&#8221; So, they took a page from a few midcentury icons and let the landscape do the talking. The result was a 3,300-square-foot shelter dubbed &#8220;the 360 house&#8221; for its sweeping views of the ocean to the west, the forest to the east, and a long stretch of shore between the two.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full-size wp-image-32853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boora-Architects-360-House-2.jpg\" alt=\"Boora Architects 360 House 2\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boora-Architects-360-House-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boora-Architects-360-House-2-524x350.jpg 524w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boora-Architects-360-House-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boora-Architects-360-House-2-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n<p>To optimize the space, homeowners Ryan and Mary Finley worked with Boora to sequester the kitchen, storage area and bathroom to the center of the home, freeing the perimeter from obstructions.
