Pam and Frank recently remodeled this loft in New York City to get better natural light throughout, working with firm Light and Air Architetcure. “That's exactly what we were looking for, is light and air,” says Frank. The views out the living room windows were a strong selling point for the home, despite its original 1980s-era finishes before the remodel. The view from the media room/extra bedroom shows the accordion door that opens to the main living areas.
Two glass doors flank a window to form a 16x9 foot wall of steel and glass at the rear. “We went back and forth so many times,” remembers Brittany, concerning the design of the wall and the size of the panes. “Now, I couldn't imagine them smaller and I couldn't imagine them bigger. So, I think it turned out to be the perfect decision for us.”
The Irwin pool house designed by Landis Gores in 1957 boasts a central room with high ceilings and an unobstructed view of the landscape. In 2005, the Town of New Canaan purchased the property and added exhibition spaces, as well as rooms for lectures and events. The small pavilion also houses an oversized, monumental brick fireplace design that divides the main space from the kitchen area.
