I co-edited the monograph referred to in the tour introduction. It’s great to see so many positive comments of the home. I, too, was impressed when I first visited the home several years ago. Photographer Thad Russell has captured a tremendous number of textures, views to the outside and details that make it a real treasure to live in.

I have an answer to “helanother’s” question about where to find the unpainted red brick. Originally on the site was a red brick carriage house. However you predominantly see the white cement that Rakatansky architected around it. In the book there is a photo of the original carriage house and a few additional exteriors, one showing the red brick abutting the newer construction in the back. Leaving the brick unpainted was primarily for the benefit of his backyard neighbors – the brick of their home and the carriage house continue to match.
