Discover the Glass House. An architectural marvel on Fishers Island, designed by Tom Phifer to blend seamlessly with its lush surroundings. This steel-and-glass home, with unobstructed views of Fishers Island Sound, stands on the site of a former colonial home. The garden, designed by Morgan Wheelock and enhanced by Thomas Armstrong, features vibrant Japanese irises and 150,000 daffodils. Phifer's design emphasizes transparency, allowing the house to blend into the landscape. The home's steel frame complements the maritime blues and grays of the Sound.
