Philip Johnson’s Paine House | Uncrate

Designed by Philip Johnson and his partner Landis Gores, the Paine House is a modernist lakeside retreat. The home was completed in 1949, the same year as the designer’s Glass House, and is situated on a 20-acre plot on the western shore of Lake Champlain. It features a cypress facade and floor-to-ceiling glazing exposing expansive lake views. Internally, the 3,812 square foot interior includes a central living area with a floating fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, two bedrooms, and two full baths. An open-air walkway leads to a summer wing with six additional bedrooms and four bathrooms. Over its 75 years, the modernist dwelling has maintained its mid-century character, although there have been updates to the siding, bathrooms, kitchen, and roof.
