Philip Johnson’s Glass House Opens

Homepage for the Glass House website designed by Pentagram.

Philip Johnson’s Glass House opens to the public for previews today for the first time. The iconic 1949 house and its 48-acre grounds in New Canaan, Connecticut, were bequeathed to the National Trust for Historic Preservation upon Johnson’s death in 2005.

Pentagram has designed an identity, promotional graphics, and a simple website for the project. A visitors center, also by Pentagram, will be ready in time for the site’s official opening on June 23.
