Round House (Connecticut)


The Round House is a modern home in Wilton, Connecticut, constructed by architect Richard T. Foster in 1968. It is also known at the "Circambulant House". It is a unique residence that can rotate 360 degrees, providing every room a complete view of the landscape. The house combines engineering from Germany, local Connecticut steel, and stone from the Dolomites. It was Foster's family’s primary residence for over 35 years. Foster lived there until his death in 2002.
