Minimalists need medicine cabinets, too. Our visit to architect Philip Johnson's iconic Glass House, in New Canaan, Connecticut, was like meeting a movie star: thrilling at first sight, and then reassuringly familiar. There are many lessons to be learned from the 1949 landmark, and quite a few are surprisingly practical and affordable. Granted permission to photograph the house at dawn, we snooped in cupboards and opened closed doors (with the help of a curator), and came away with a list of ideas worth applying to our own far less daring houses.

Photography by Matthew Williams for Remodelista.

Above: Set on 49 secluded acres, the Glass House was the first of an eventual 14 structures that Johnson added to the compound, including an underground art gallery; a compact (and much more private) one-bedroom brick house for himself and longtime partner, curator David Whitney; and a red and black asymmetrical gate house he dubbed Da Monsta. Johnson spent 50-plus years living and working on the estate, until his death at 98 in 2005. And all the while, he also orchestrated its seemingly wild plantings, adding and subtracting trees, branches, and tendrils—and directing his crew with a megaphone—to create vistas worthy of a structure with all windows. As Paul Goldberger put it, "The elegantly arranged landscape is as much a part of the house as the furniture."

The estate, now known as The Glass House, belongs to the National Trust for Historic Preservation and functions as a vital if under-the-radar museum offering contemporary art shows, events, tours (reservations required), plus a Glass House Design Store in downtown New Canaan. And for a contribution of $30,000, you can spend a night in the Glass House. To prepare the place for guests, Crista Bazoian, manager of the shop, went looking for new bedding and found it right here on Remodelista: She ordered an ensemble from one of our favorite sources, Rough Linen. When we heard, we had to take a look, and so did Tricia Rose, owner of Rough Linen, who immediately hopped on a plane from SF to join us. Here's what we discovered.  

1. Timeless design really can last a lifetime.

Above: Johnson's living room furniture is by his friend Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. (The Glass House itself was directly inspired by a model of Mies's Farnsworth house in Illinois.) After seeing Mies's German Pavilion at the International Exposition in Barcelona of 1929, Johnson ordered the furniture for his own New York living room and then used it in the Glass House. Once in place, not a single piece, down to the coffee table's round ashtray and square box, ever changed (since the sixties, though, the stool has sported a cigarette burn left by Andy Warhol).

Note the intimate placement of the seating for easy conversation and the lounge option (in this house, comfort is welcomed in, if not allowed to reign supreme: "You can feel comfortable in any environment as long as it's beautiful," said Johnson). 

N.B.: The Barcelona Chair and Barcelona Stool are available from the Glass House Design Store, and proceeds help preserve and maintain the museum. 

2. There are all kinds of ways to build a wall.

Above: How to divide a glass cube into living, sleep, and eating quarters? Johnson built dual-function barriers, including a standing painting and a long wooden storage cupboard that sections off the bedroom (and ensures clutter-free living). The cabinet, which also serves as a headboard, holds blankets and bedding, tableware, and household supplies.

3. Display art at a human level.

Above: Johnson purchased Nicolas Poussin's 17th-century painting, The Burial of Phocion, at the recommendation of Alfred H. Barr, Jr., the Museum of Modern Art's first director (Johnson himself served as MoMA's first curator of architecture). The painting shows a landscape that uncannily evokes the pastoral scene on view from the windows. Its ingenious standing display easel is arranged so that the base meets the horizon line outside.

Above: 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 (but, given the painting's sun exposure, not exactly an archival approach). 

4. Incorporate air space into your room design.

Above: The interior is just over 1,700 square feet (with 10 foot, 4 1/2 inch tall ceilings), and each part has plenty of breathing room. The seating area overlooks a dining table designed by Johnson and a papier-mâché maquette of Two Circus Women, a sculpture by Elie Nadelman. When Frank Lloyd Wright visited, he reportedly insisted the sculpture was out of place and moved it. After he left, Johnson put it right back. As he explained, "A room is only as good as you feel when you're in it."

5. Give in to window covers.

Above: Though the Glass House isn't visible from the road, Johnson eventually succumbed to sliding panels to block the sun and prevent interlopers from seeing inside—Yale architecture students were among the many known to appear uninvited for a look around. Johnson's woven window panels are from Conrad, which still specializes in custom sun shades. The ones in the house are similiar to the company's Toksu grass design.

6. Cover up what you don't want to display.

Above: How to plunk a working kitchen into an eyesore-free, open-plan room? Johnson devised a compact but extremely functional galley—and then he figured out a way to make it disappear. 

Above: 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. During the museum's parties at the house, it's still put to use.

Above: As for the appliances, Johnson turned to Kitchens by Dean, in New Canaan, for his stainless steel sink, GE fridge, freezer, 24-inch stove, and wooden cabinets—all tidily tucked under the counter. To give the setup unity and an industrial look, Johnson painted it all gray.

Above: For coffee and tea, Johnson selected the now-classic Chemex coffee maker and Teema collection of pared-down tableware by Finnish designer Kaj Franck—like the Glass House, Franck's ceramics are based on square, circular, and rectangular shapes. Of course, Johnson always kept the wares in a kitchen cabinet when not in use. Read about Teema and where to source it in Object Lessons.

7. Brick makes interesting, durable flooring. (And it works well with radiant heat.)

Above: Is it time to rediscover herringbone brick? The Glass House's floor is more indestructible than wood (if not easier on the legs). And it conducts heat well—the house has a hydronic radiant-heat system in which hot water flows through piping under the bricks. Go to Remodeling 101 to learn 5 Things to Know about Radiant Floor Heating.  And see Brick Makes a Comeback for an interesting use of brick in a contemporary remodel, herringbone floors included.

8. A curve or two is pleasing to the eye.

Above: The house's only fully enclosed room is a brick cylinder that serves on one side as a fireplace. When embers are lit, the room's cross breeze is said to ignite the fire.

Above: On the other side, the cylinder contains a bathroom conveniently right off the bedroom. "You haven't any straight lines in your body. Why should we have straight lines in architecture?" said Johnson. "You'd be surprised when you go into a room that has no straight line how marvelous it is that you can feel the walls talking back to you, as it were."

Above: The bathroom has a curved wood door and frame (with faint marks on it from Johnson's wheelchair during his last stays in the house).

9. Consider a full-length medicine cabinet.

Above: Sheathed in pale green Italian glass tiles, the bathroom's storage is cleverly tucked into its outsize medicine cabinet. For a similar design, consider Restoration Hardware's Frame Metal Full-Length Medicine Cabinet. Urban Archaeology carries a range of Glass Tiles (but be warned: We've heard that the edges of glass tiles can be razor sharp and require a lot of filing).

10. Apply texture in unexpected places.

Above: Johnson loved to experiment with materials: He built an open-air Ghost House on the property from chain link fencing; constructed Da Monsta from gunite, a plasterlike swimming pool composite; and applied leather tiles on the bathroom ceiling. True, they're not practical for a small space with high humidity, but because Johnson and Whitney more often showered in the brick house across from the Glass House, the leather has held up.

Above: The shower has a shades-of-Pompeii circular tiled frame and a curtain on a metal ceiling track.

11. A bedroom doesn't need much more than a bed.

Above: A 1927 Mies van der Rohe glass-and-tubular-steel table stands next to a ghost of a bed cloaked in a woven cotton spread that Johnson brought back from a trip to Greece. For simplicity of line, all else, including pillows, is kept in the surrounding cupboards. Johnson's dictum: "Pick very few objects and place them exactly." 

The windows were sized according to the largest panels of glass available at the time and the lower panels are chair-rail height. Waking up to a snowstorm is one of the biggest thrills. See Bedtime Under Glass for a report by Guy Trebay of the New York Times, who not so long ago got to test out a night at the house. 

Above: The cupboards have simple patinated brass knobs.

Above: The windows are steel-framed and secured with brass hardware.

Above: When there are overnight guests, the bed is dressed in its new Rough Linen bedding.

Above: The duvet cover is Rough Linen's Orkney design, paired with the company's Simple Pillow Slips and St. Barts Blue Shams and a white linen Sheet. On arrival at the house, the company's creator, Tricia Rose, immediately whipped the bed into shape. She used her 7 Secrets to Make a Perfect Bed—but refrained from diving in naked.

12. Layer your lighting.

Above: Alongside exposed steel I-beams, each corner of the house is lit by canister lights. After moving in, Johnson hired lighting designer Richard Kelly to minimize glare and save him from having to stare at his own reflection after dark. Kelly responded by creating a subtle system of interior up lights and exterior down lights.

13. Plants make good roommates.

Above: A spindly pencil cactus brings the outdoors in and keeps the room from feeling chilly. It stands next to a Mies van der Rohe tubular steel and leather desk and Brno Chair. On Gardenista, join our debate about Plants in the Bedroom and learn about Johnson's succulent of choice in the New "It" Houseplant.

14. Borrow freely from others.

Above: Johnson openly grabbed the idea for an all-glass house from Mies van der Rohe—he even managed to get his built first—and found inspiration all over, from antiquity to the Bauhaus to Frank Gehry's aversion to right angles. He encouraged people to design their own houses and, while doing so, to borrow brazenly: "I got everything from someone. Nobody can be original. As Mies said, 'I don't want to be original. I want to be good.'"

The challenge: to convert an old farm dwelling in the Loire into a modern, light-filled home—with minimal intervention. French firm Septembre Architecture accomplished this by executing subtle and discrete interventions: major overhaul not necessary. By matching the delicate color palette found in the original construction materials, the designers masterfully bridge old with new.

Photography by Linus Ricard via This Is Paper. 

Above: The white walls in all the rooms form a backdrop to a palette of soft, natural shades. In the kitchen, new materials are introduced through the light wood cabinets, open shelving, and Polished Concrete Floor.

Above: In the living area, by opening up the ceiling to the full height of the house, the architects were able to create a mezzanine level.

Above: Vestiges of the original construction can be seen in the wood ceiling lintels.

Above: On the mezzanine, the simple, lightweight detailing of the metal rails contrasts with the heavy wood beams and stone walls of the original house.

Above: The exposed beams are celebrated in the sparsely decorated bedroom. 

Above: The existing roofline in an upstairs bedroom is left intact.

Above: The silhouette of the door follows the roofline.

The oldest known calendar was constructed in Scotland in the eighth millennium, but it wasn't until 1592 (and several adjustments later) that the familiar Gregorian calendar was introduced in Italy. Today, a calendar is more likely to be printed on paper than carved out of stone, and the challenge of organizing numbers and fonts into an easily readable chart has proved to be catnip for graphic designers over the years. Several notable talents from around the world have risen to the task by creating classic (and future classic) typographic calendars. Here are some timeless examples.

Above: San Francisco design firm Studio Hinrichs creates an annual Typography Calendar featuring 12 familiar and revival typefaces, each accompanied by a description and history. The calendar is 12 by 18 inches; $29 at Mark and Graham.

Above: The classic Formosa Perpetual Wall Calendar was designed in Germany in 1963, and adorned many a post-Kennedy American kitchen, including my own. It's made of PVC and is 12.4 square inches; $250 at Horne. (Note: The example shown is in Italian, but Horne sells an English version.) 

Above, top and bottom: The single-page Postalco Wall Calendar was designed in Tokyo by a transplanted New York designer. Measuring 18 by 22 inches, it presents the entire year, with room for long-term planning and notes (see detail, above). It's available at General Store for $24, and in the UK at General Good for £15.

Above: The Stendig Wall Calendar was designed in 1966 by Italian designer Massimo Vignelli (who also designed the New York City subway signage) and was immediately added to the collection at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The Stendig is 48 by 36 inches, and is available at Schoolhouse Electric for $36.

Above: Snug Studio of Germany creates another notable broadsheet. The Memo Calendar in pink on pink is 23 by 33 inches. It's $25 via the firm's Etsy shop, as well as at Snug Studio for €19.90 ($24.50).

• Subtle Shine: Handmade Mirrors by Maureen Fullam
• Object Lessons: Calendars with a Design Pedigree

As flattering as candlelight and equally atmospheric, New York artist Maureen Fullam's mirrors are made the centuries-old way, by hand applying layers of silver leafing to the back of a piece of glass. The process, known as verre églomisé or reverse gilding, involves three separate layers of silver leaf—"it's a crazy process; if you touch the pieces, they'll disintegrate, so you have to apply them individually with a special tiny brush made of badger hair," says Fullam. Intervals of drying, burnishing, and buffing are followed by antiquing, sealing, and framing. From start to finish, each batch of mirrors takes a week to complete. Call it hard-earned flash.

Photography by Don Freeman, unless otherwise noted.

Above: A collection of Maureen Fullam Mirrors at Egan Day in Philadelphia, including one in aqua glass. Sold individually, some of the designs have beveled edges or convex shapes; all are finished with blackened metal edges that form a minimalist frame. Inquire for details. Photograph via Egan Day.

Above: A custom 24-by-40-inch mirror at Chris Lehrecke in Hudson, New York. Fullam's studio is located in a nearby Hudson Valley town; she often works with architects and designers, and stands ready to take special orders; contact her at Maureen Fullam.

Above: An assortment of small mirrors at Chris Lehrecke; $350 to $500 each. A range of Fullam's designs are also available at August in Los Angeles, Alder & Co. in Portland, Oregon, and Patina in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

 Above: Mirrored coasters with beveled edges at Chris Lehrecke; $250 for a set of four circles or squares.

Every architect—and architecture devotee—has a library of treasured design books lovingly built up over time. Here are five welcome new additions to the shelves.

Above: A chair is like a mini building, which explains why we architects are obsessed with seating. In his quest to "design just one good chair," midcentury Danish designer Hans Wegner created more than 500 of them. Wegner: Just One Good Chair by Design Museum Denmark curator Christian Holmsted Olesen documents the process; $50.56. UK readers can find the book on Amazon.co.uk for £45.

Above: Building Design Architect of the Year 2013 Carl Turner's monograph Small: Thoughts and Projects ponders the delivery of low-cost buildings that have a high impact; $20.90. In the UK the book is available through Amazon.co.uk for £14.05.

Above: With over 2,000 images and documents, many previously unpublished, Le Corbusier Le Grand is the definitive book on arguably the greatest architect of the 20th century—a must-have for every architect's library; $41.89. UK readers can find the book on Amazon.co.uk for £29.14.

Above: Philip Johnson may have put New Canaan, Connecticut, on the architectural map with his Glass House, but he wasn't the only modern architect paying homage to the Bauhaus in this leafy suburb. Midcentury Houses Today documents the legacy of architectural masters such as Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores, Eliot Noyes, and Edward Durell Stone, who left their mark in New Canaan, and, most interestingly, the book looks at how these houses are lived in today; $40.90. In the UK, the book is available through Amazon.co.uk for £52. 

Above: Architect of the Bank of England and the Dulwich Picture Gallery, Sir John Soane's own home in Lincoln's Inn Fields is on the tour of every architecture student who comes to visit London. Originally published in 1999 and newly back in print this year, John Soane, Architect: Master of Space and Light explains the genius behind this 18th-century innovator; $47.98. Readers in the UK can find the book at Amazon.co.uk; £36.

Anahi in Paris is a place of interesting juxtapositions: An Argentine chef serves Argentine food—with ingredients sourced entirely from France. It's owned by a man who's all about authenticity—but meanwhile he's developing three dozen shops and restaurants in the neighborhood. The interior still sports its original tiling, with cracks patched with gleaming copper and chairs gilded in bronze.  

Anahi was founded by two sisters 20 years ago as an authentic Argentine restaurant in the Marais. When they retired, the pair sold to a French businessman named Cédric Naudon—to say he has an ambitious plan for the Marais is an understatement. Naudon is developing La Jeune Rue, his vision for a design-oriented neighborhood full of sophisticated shopping and dining experiences. He's creating or overhauling almost 40 restaurants and shops in the Marais, and Anahi is his first. 

To redo Anahi, Naudon hired Barcelona-based designer Maud Bury, a former editorial stylist for World of Interiors and a Philippe Starck apprentice. Bury's has transformed Anahi into a glamorous dining room while preserving its existing architectural features—an Art Deco ceiling, frescoed windows, cracked tiles. To address the tiles, Bury repaired them with grout made of copper leaf. The result is both compelling and chic: Anahi is resolutely glamorous while charmingly falling apart.

Above: Framed black and white photos of the restaurant's original owners adorn the walls.

Above: Among his many changes at Anahi, Naudon shifted the Argentine menu to include only ingredients grown in France, roasted in a charcoal oven.

Above: The building dates from the early 20th century, as evidenced by subtle frescoes at the top of each window. 

Above: Dining chairs are capped in solid bronze.

Above: The Anahi space was once a charcuterie. Gilded meats at the rear of the restaurant are a nod to the restaurant's former life.

Above: In the enclosed back dining room, aging white tiles were swapped for solid bronze ones. This room is heavily lit, and the effect is magnified by the metallic wall tiles.

Above: Tall antique church candelabras line the windows facing out to the street. 

Above: Copper-patched broken tiles next to minimal, modern artwork.  

Above: According to Zagat, Anahi is "the kind of place 'to meet models' and other local fashionistas."

Bedrooms have evolved: During waking hours, many now double as dressing rooms, workspaces, libraries, and even exercise studios. All this adds up to a conundrum when it comes to lighting: Soft, ambient light is needed to create a relaxing retreat, while brighter, more-focused light is a necessity for tasks. What to do? Lighting designer Thomas Paterson, founder of London– and Mexico City–based Lux Populi, offers his tips.

Above: No single fixture can serve all bedroom lighting needs; what's needed is a combination of gentle ambient light and controlled task lighting. This use of multiple sources, as shown in Remodelista editor Francesca's bedroom, is known as light layering. The hanging light is the Taraxacum S2 Pendant Lamp designed in 1960 by brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and still in production  (Take a complete tour of Francesca's Brooklyn town house in the Remodelista book.)

What's the simplest way to light a bedroom?  

Overall ambient light is the first step. “The most robust way of lighting a bedroom in general is a surface-mounted ceiling light,” advises Paterson. This type of fixture offers soft, diffuse light throughout the space. “The effect is a bit flat sometimes, but as part of the mix, it's a great way of lighting a space simply, cheaply, and effectively,” he says. 

A dimmer for your primary light is ideal: “Bedrooms sometimes need to be really bright, such as when you're getting up early and want to wake up fast, or when you're packing a bag, or cleaning. But, of course, they don't always need to be,” says Paterson. 

Above: Emily and Shane Pribble (who chronicle their home improvements on Lifestyle and Design Online) use a ceiling-mounted glass pendant as the primary light in their bedroom.

Do ceiling can lights work? 

In a word: rarely. “Downlights [cans] on bedroom ceilings are a terrible solution most of the time,” says Paterson. Why? “You lie in bed looking up into them, the glare and the guts. That's why they're especially to be avoided directly over the bed. And downlights never really add atmosphere; they just light the floor.”

Above: Not just for dining rooms, chandeliers can add drama and ambient light in a bedroom, as seen in a room at the Ellis House in Australia's Kyneton, in Central Victoria. Photograph by Sharyn Cairns for Ellis House.

How effective are standing lamps for lighting a bedroom? 

A big floor lamp that provides lots of light up out of its top can work wonders in a space. Look for lamps with dense shades on the sides so they primarily light up and down, rather than sideways.

Above: The Santa & Cole Tripode Floor Lamp features a large shade and a cleverly hidden cord with a dimmer switch; $1,050 at Y Lighting.

What about wall lights?

One of Paterson’s favorite techniques for lighting a bedroom is to wash a wall with light. Recessed ceiling wall-wash fixtures, such as the WAC Tesla Wall-Wash Light, are effective without being distracting. Most often Paterson selects the largest white wall in the room, but not the wall with the bed. “The light bounces off the wall softly into the room, but it also lets you light art and decoration on that wall.”

Any special tips for lighting artwork in a bedroom? 

Paterson recommends using a couple of spotlights or a picture light, both of which can add great depth and contrast to a bedroom. “But be careful with placement,” he advises. “When lying in bed, you don't want to be looking up into these spotlights.”

What's the best way to illuminate a bedroom workspace? 

“Although most of us aspire to having a bedroom for the sole purpose of sleep, bedrooms are where our kids do their homework, and where we go to get away from the noise in social spaces,” says Paterson. The best solution for lighting? Desk lamps. “They can add atmosphere even when the desk is not in action.” Paterson often uses banker’s lamps.

What are the options for bedside lighting?

Bedside lighting is the most flexible part of the equation. It's fun to select and easy to change. Consider table lamps, wall-mounted lights, pendants, and adjustable task lamps. They're typically placed on either side of the bed and are usually matching. To determine the optimal height and type suited to your needs, read our Bedside Lighting Primer. 

Above: A simple bedside pendant light in the bedroom of the Veda House Studio in St. Louis. 

What about night-lights? 

Light and sleep are not a good match (see How to Achieve Total Darkness in the Bedroom and Why It Matters). But finding your way safely in the dark to get to the bathroom or to a crying child is important. “New technologies make it easy to hide a soft light under a bed, table, or skirting, softly lighting the floor—and then, thanks to a motion sensor directed away from the bed (so it doesn't turn on when you move in bed), you have light to find your way whenever you get up," says Paterson. 

Above: An LED Battery-Operated Motion Activated Night-Light is $14.91 at Amazon.

How best to light a closet?

Whether your closet is a large walk-in or a tiny cubby in the corner of the bedroom, you want light that is bright enough to illuminate not just you but also your clothing selections. Overhead lights are a good solution that offer overall bright and flattering lighting. Consider adding ceiling lights close to your hanging rods and upper shelving so you can see what you pick to wear (but not so close that the light presents a fire hazard). And if you have a full-length mirror, consider an overhead light positioned above where you stand.

Here's a breakthrough we like: electrical outlets with built-in USB ports that offer charging straight from the wall—and leave bulky adapters behind. A simple upgrade and your electrical outlets will catch up with the times, allowing you to charge a phone (and other devices) without taking up plug space with a blocky adapter. Think of it: If every outlet had one of these, you'd never be at a loss for a charger.

Above: USB electrical outlets have the ability to charge up to two USB-powered electronic devices at once, leaving the regular outlets free for additional power needs (including other tech devices using their adaptors). These outlets are equipped with circuitry that recognizes the device plugged in and outputs the appropriate power. 

Above: Newer Technology's Power2U AC/USB Outlet features spring-loaded safety shutters; $15 each via Amazon.

Above: Leviton USB Charger Outlets come in a variety of configurations, including the Leviton USB Charger Duplex Receptical (far left), which has two vertical USB ports; $20.99 (cover plate sold separately) via Amazon.

Above: Upgrading your old-school outlets with USB-compatible ones is easy. Designed to fit in a standard wall box, installation requires little more than a screwdriver, wire stripper, and a trip to the breaker box (or call an electrician). Ars Technica offers a detailed Step-by-Step Installation Guide.
