A PHILIP JOHNSON ORIGINAL HITS THE MARKET FOR A COOL $44 MILLION
Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, Farney House is an exceptional example of mid century American architecture rarely seen on the market today.
Johnson first made a name for himself when he designed the infamous ‘Glass House’ (Pictured) displaying some of the first examples of pure minimalism. With his extensive use of glass, mixing the outside world with the internal spaces, his style played with proportion and the effects of transparency and reflection.
Located in Connecticut, Farney House was built in 1946 and was based on plans drawn up by the celebrated Mies van der Rohe. It features 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, free-form swimming pool, tennis court, play area, putting green and basketball court. The property is set on 3.6 acres of pristine Hamptons shoreline, which is accessed by its own private road. |
