The home architect Lee H. Skolnick designed for April Gornik and Eric Fischl sits on five acres of serene woodland, with separate studios for both artists occupying the front of the structure and the living areas set further back.
The residence’s entryway features an array of sculptures by Fischl and waxed concrete floors.
In the dining room, a crystal pirate-ship chandelier by Canopy Designs hangs above a custom heart-pine table by Tom Brokish and a dozen Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs.
The living room features a pair of 1950s French armchairs from Neo Studio and a large 2007 oil on linen, Dune Sky, by Gornik, who is photographed in the glass and steel library that hovers above.
Press, a 2008 oil on linen by Alyssa Monks, hangs above the landing, which connects the living room to the lower-level dining room and kitchen.
Guests enter the house via a series of stairs to a platform flanked by the artists’ studios on either side and centered on a Roman-style impluvium.
The opposite vista features Tumbling Woman II, a cast bronze by Fischl from 2007.
Gornik loves gardening and has planted many specimen trees on the property. The pool area features a clematis-covered wall as a backdrop and a pair of vintage wicker lounge chairs.
Gornik and Fischl work in separate matching studios in their home.
