[ ARCHITECTURE ] A. CONGER GOODYEAR HOUSE, A MODERNIST LANDMARK RESTORED


A.  C O N G E R   G O O D Y E A R   H O U S E

A modernist landmark rich in history + anchored by art, sculpture and landscape. This brilliantly thought out restoration was pulled together via a trio of talent...

" What do you do when your art-collecting clients (Aby Rosen and Samantha Boardman), the owners of an Edward Durell Stone landmark from 1938, ask you not only to restore the house and reinvent its grounds but to add a tennis court and guesthouse as well? If you’re Interior Design Hall of Fame members Steven Harris and Lucien Rees Roberts, introduced to the owners by Rees Roberts + Partners landscaping mastermind David Kelly, you check your egos at the door. The trio started by choosing a site across the garden from the single-story International Style main house—designed for the Museum of Modern Art’s first president, A. Conger Goodyear—so as not to overwhelm. "

[ SPACES ] A SEVENTIES HOUSE IN BRITTANY VIA AD FRANCE

When you look at this remarkable home there is no denying the masterful interplay between architecture and nature as well as light and space. In addition to this there is the harmonious relationship between each object, its placement, the surrounding palette and tactile textures that abound. It doesn't get more visually palatable than this SEVENTIES HOUSE IN BRITTANY FRANCE...
