The street-facing façade. “We’re the developer, contractor, superintendent,” Segal explains. “We’re trying to go back to when the architect was the master builder and controlled everything. If I knew how to do plumbing and pour concrete, I’d do that too.”Photo by: Randi Berez -
Segal designed the kitchen cabinets. The oven and cooktop are by Gaggenau; the sink is by Franke.Photo by: Randi Berez -
In the humidor-like living room, modern classics like the off-white armchairs by Hans Wegner complement pieces of Segal’s own design, such as the coffee table and long leather seating.Photo by: Randi Berez -
The industrial aesthetic of the Segals’ lounge area is softened by a white shag rug and the generous sunlight that streams through its ceiling of thick glass. The seating is by Paul Kjaerholm.Photo by: Randi Berez -

Apart from being visually stunning, the reflecting pool just outside of the living room also acts a sound barrier—the gurgling water cancels out traffic noise.Photo by: Randi Berez -
