Come with us on a tour of the iconic Glass House, designed by architect Philip Johnson in New Canaan, Connecticut, where storage solutions for the minimalist abound.
1. Timeless design really can last a lifetime.
2. Display art at a human level.
Johnson mounted the painting on a board and elevated it on a metal framework, an ideal solution for a house with no walls to hang things on.
3. Incorporate air space into your room design.
4. Give in to window covers.
5. Cover up what you don’t want to display.
Presto chango: A hinged walnut top (with rubber-footed legs) folds down over the sink and stove, turning the space into a martini bar and buffet.
To give the setup unity and an industrial look, Johnson painted it all gray.
