A streamlined garage nestles up against a 90-year-old carriage house that makes up the main residential structure.
The owner’s love of cars guided the garage design, turning this often-overlooked programmatic element into a glass-enclosed stage for his beloved vehicles.
The entrance-hall/art gallery (in keeping with the house’s lack of clearly-defined programmatic zones) is furnished with a Tucker Robbins natural-edge table.
A Lindsey Adelman chandelier illuminates Studio Van den Akker dining chairs and a dining table featuring a blackened steel base and a straight-edge Kumbuk top designed by Tucker Robbins. Fuse Lighting pendants from Dennis Miller Associates light the kitchen island. Heavy steel beams are a nod to the industrial aesthetic introduced throughout the home.
The “back” of the compelling 22-inch-thick stone structure makes up the interior walls of this bar-like area furnished with Studio Van den Akker club chairs featuring Joseph Nobel fabric; Kevin Reilly pendants from Holly Hunt; and an area rug through Patterson Flynn Martin. Roman shades in a Larsen fabric from Cowtan & Tout filter the sunlight.
In another living space, vintage club chairs from 1stdibs in a Lee Jofa fabric flank a contemporary two-tier John Boone coffee table. The Cumulus lighting fixture is by Ted Abramczyk for Ralph Pucci. The area rug is from Orley Shabahang.
The home gym combines crisp Miesian modernism visible in the Cartesian grid of the glass addition with the remnants of the original stone wall, while a curved ceiling offers a feeling of coziness.
In the master bedroom, Dedar’s Sottosopra velvet bed fabric delivers textural luxury to this heavily furnished space. A hand-knotted wool and silk rug by Doris Leslie Blau delivers plushness underfoot, while a custom club chair nestles next to a Holly Hunt ottoman, both covered in James Dunlop Textiles’ Mokum fabric. A vintage bench wears a Cortina leather through Holland & Sherry.
The master bathroom is a study in clean lines and long semi-transparencies. Feature wall tile is Ann Sacks; porcelain wall tile is through Artistic Tile. Floor tile and countertop are through Dushi Marble. Robern vanity is from Klaffs.
The Crisscross pendants lights are through Boyd Lighting. Faucets are Dornbracht.
A geometric pool installed by Signature Pools leads the eye to the “fishbowl,” a glass-walled addition that operates as whatever its inhabitants want it to be: TV room, game room, card room, etc. The subtle low-slung forms of the house emerge.
Custom coffee tables by Jed Johnson Associates anchor a comfortable seating arrangement detailed with custom sofas, game chairs and an Axel Vervoordt slate coffee table.
Overlooking the pool area and rolling fields beyond, the rooftop deck features outdoor furniture from Henrik Pedersen for Gloster.
