Urban Glass House is a modern condominium building in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan, designed by American architect Philip Johnson as his final project. Completed in 2006, the building references Johnson's earlier Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, though the urban design bears little resemblance to that iconic structure. Interiors were conceived by architect and designer Annabelle Selldorf. Johnson died before construction was finished, making this his last realized work. The building's market performance was later affected by the 2007 announcement of a nearby New York City Department of Sanitation garage.
