After being inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, this is what Philip Johnson designed. It is considered one of the first most brilliant works of modern architecture.

  • Location: New Canaan, Connecticut
  • Dimensions: 56 feet (17 m) long, 32 feet (9.8 m) wide and 10½ feet (3.2 m) high
  • Year: 1949

The only part not exposed to the outdoors is the cylinder brick structure which is a bathroom on one side and a fireplace on the other.
