'Stressing the features of the landscape,

the building is designed around the mound defining the area, and the trees that line it.

Avoiding all tree trunks surrounding it, the shrine is instead built around them, as if flowing from them. 

 

... Unity of everyday life and spiritual life as a balanced interaction

with nature is the design’s guiding force.'

[ 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. "
