Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Thin roof slab and slim frame
A flat roof slab sits on a slim frame with glass walls between. It is a very small model, so print as large as you can; Print friendly adapts thin parts to the print scale.
- Brick cylinder and furnishings
A brick cylinder rises through the roof, and tiny furniture sits inside the glass walls. Full detail keeps them on larger prints, and a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps them crisp.

About the Glass House, New Canaan
The Glass House, also called the Johnson House, is a house museum on Ponus Ridge Road, New Canaan, Connecticut. The architect Philip Johnson designed it as a weekend retreat for himself and built it in 1948–49. The New York Times described it as his "signature work". A stone wall screens it from the street, and it sits at the brink of a crest on Johnson's estate, above a pond.
The structure measures 56 feet (17 m) by 32 feet (9.8 m) and rises 10.5 feet (3.2 m). Its exterior sides use charcoal-painted steel and glass, and the brick floor is raised 10 inches (25 cm) off the ground. Kitchen, dining and sleeping areas share one glass-enclosed room. Low walnut cabinets divide the open interior, and a brick cylinder encloses the bathroom and is the one element that runs from floor to ceiling.
According to Alice T. Friedman, the design may derive from the Farnsworth House, a glass house by Mies van der Rohe, in Plano, Illinois, finished in 1951, two years later than the Glass House. It shows an early use of industrial materials, such as glass and steel, in a home. The estate includes other buildings by Johnson that span his career, and the National Historic Landmark designation came in 1997.
