Marcel Breuer built his second home in New Canaan in 1951. By the time the current owners bought it in 2004, the house had deteriorated so greatly that it had to be knocked down. With the help of architect Toshiko Mori, the residents completely recreated the original home but added a new wing with a glass curtain wall to offset Breuer's preferred material, fieldstone.
