Marcel Breuer House II
Marcel Breuer House II, Modernist residence in New Canaan, United States.
The Marcel Breuer House II features cantilevered sections extending 10 feet beyond the foundation, with glass walls and gray-painted cypress siding across its exterior.
Constructed in 1947, the residence served as Marcel Breuer's family home until 1951 before being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
The residence exhibits the Bauhaus principles through its structural design, incorporating steel cables and specialized exterior sheathing for enhanced support systems.
Located 200 feet from Sunset Hill Road, the house maintains its private residential status while representing a significant example of mid-century modern architecture.
The east-facing main façade combines fixed and casement windows with cypress siding, creating a systematic pattern that defines the building's character.
