Amazing Mid Mod Construction
Dow’s office is the transition point between the studio and the residence he shared with his wife, Vada, and their three children. Nestled down a short flight of steps, the room is an energetic and idiosyncratic study of contrasts, from the round lines of the George Nelson Saucer pendant and the strung gourds to the sharp, geometric planes of the layered ceiling.
The house that started it all: Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. He and David Whitney used to invite great minds from the architecture, design, and art worlds to visit the house for evenings of discussion and debate. When the Glass House opened to the public in 2007, its programmers continued the invite-only tradition.
