Home is Where the Art is
Business in the front
Upon arriving at the expansive entry court, a narrow, north-facing façade greets the visitor, somber and almost foreboding in form and color palette, with copious blacks and earth tones set on angular planes and forms. Of note are the generous five-meter eaves of the roof and entryway, decidedly Wrightian in profile as they loom over the visitor. A solitary frangipani tree in bloom to the left of the house’s dark-stained wood door softens the rigidity of the composition. Its sculptural counterpoint on the right, a portly man luxuriating weightlessly on a cloud, presages the playful spectacle that awaited the team inside.
Pushing through the slatted door panels, one isn’t led indoors just yet but to an outdoor foyer. It serves as the perfect viewpoint from which to, the household’s largest art piece, seemingly preens in front of the house’s second-floor windows at the garden. At the far end of the scene, the tranquil greens and shrubbery of the adjacent golf course await.
