Own This Iconic Glass Home in Salt Lake City For $950K
Built in 1965 by Salt Lake City architect John Sugden—a student of Mies van der Rohe—the Emigration Canyon abode was originally designed to serve as a studio for Sugden's own practice, as well as a residence for his then business partner, Charlie Griffin. Constructed on two levels with two separate entrances, the building was not connected internally until 1998 when it was transformed into a single-family residence.
After having been carefully preserved, the 1,800-square-foot home is now being listed for $950,000. Scroll ahead for a glimpse inside historic piece of Salt Lake City architecture.
Like all of Sugden’s work, the building frame is entirely made of A36 steel that is joined exclusively with moment-resisting welded connections, and rests on an exposed, reinforced concrete foundation.
The exterior walls above grade have been completely glazed with the original bronze tinted glass, and are secured directly to the structure by neoprene zipper gaskets.

The open kitchen is small, yet highly efficient.
Set in a forested area, the home feels completely integrated into the surrounding nature.
