The New York Times shows us the home Philip Johnson designed across the road from his well-known Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. Originally designed for a family of six, the 4,550-square-foot home is made up of two brick pavilions linked by a glassed-in passage ways that frame the views of the 5-acre property...
Current owners Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows (designers of the BassamFellows furniture line) have embraced the heritage of the house and furnished with their own line of "Craftsman Modern" style furniture and vintage pieces.

Isn't that Doctor Koeger's office?
I've had the pleasure of touring this house -- I want it!
I've had the pleasure of touring this house as well. It is a masterpiece.
I haven't toured this house and I even want it! It's so stunning. I hope it includes a quite a few bottles of window cleaner though.... (:
The integration between the BassamFellows funiture and the modernist house is well done.
The dining room table really centers and unifies the space (although it does look like the base was from the blu dot strut table).
This design features something so smart that was perverted by so many bad ranch houses. The window walls have deep overhangs and bend around a courtyard so that glaring sun won't cook the interior of the house or make the rooms feel dark (as too-bright windows do). I have the misforture to live in a ranch house with window walls (one facing south!) with little roof overhang. They are a constant problem.
I love that organic table in that hard room. Yummy.
... but I want to put something over that white sofa.
Are those yellow shelves/boxes storage containers, or decorative?
I gotta say, the entrance to this house makes me wonder where to put the reception desk.
Philip, I'm with you. It looks like a museum, not habitable by humans.
It DOES look more like a museum than a house (and, not because it's so beautiful). While I appreciate minimalism, this joint looks about 25% under-decorated.
Guys... I know that owning a Philip Johnson house must be an awesome responsibility, but please add a little crap to make it homey.
