“Designed by Steven Holl for modern furniture gallerists Mark McDonald and Dwayne Resnick, this live-work space in upstate New York is a midcentury collector’s paradise.
Named the L-House for its shape, it features a south-facing garden and reflecting pool, with an outdoor lighting fixture salvaged from a 1912 Wright house in Minnesota. The walls are clad in powder-coated aluminium, a custom design with finger-width corrugation that Holl developed for his archive building.
Luminist paintings of the 19th-century Hudson River School are a big influence on Holl, who is himself an accomplished watercolourist. Light floods the interior from above and from the windows on four sides that open to provide cross ventilation. Soft-toned birch ply lines the open-plan interior as a foil to the colours and shapes of the furniture. Inside the entry, a pine staircase ascends from the dining area to the mezzanine bedroom and bathroom. A catwalk leads to a pop-up roof lantern from where you can step out onto a flat roof and admire the sun setting over the Catskills.”
