The 1983 “Cedar Bridge House” designed by renowned architect Will Armster in Glastonbury Connecticut is pretty cool. It “floats” among the trees, has 2bd  2ba and is a pretty reasonable $497K for such a unique home.

It has a spacious living room with windows to see the trees, of course, and a glass ceiling over the sofa.

Round skylight over the round table. Very cool. 

Glass island and look at the cool geometric backsplash. 

On the other side of the kitchen is a long hall w/skylights. 

Spacious main bd. has doors to a deck. 

Has a cool en-suite. Everything is long and narrow, b/c the house is long, but it looks good.

So, that’s the garage, and I would imagine that’s how you enter the house. 

There’s this large deck with a hot tub.

Then there’re stairs to go up into the house or come down to go out to the deck.

There are 2 more open decs on the opposite end of the house.

 Bridge House in New Canaan van John Johansen.

Johansen, was een van de Harvard Five. Philip Johnson, Eliot Noyes, Landis Gores en Marcel Breuer waren de anderen. Het huis, gebouwd in 1956, wordt het Bridge House genoemd omdat het het riviertje Rippowam overspant, een klein stroompje dat uiteindelijk uitmondt in Long Island Sound.
