#TBT – Art & Antiques Magazine June 2008
This article in Art & Antiques focused on an apartment I shared with my wife and daughter in Greenwich Village, and the integration of an art and decorative arts collection in a family environment…
A Modern California Vision Turns 50
On a family vacation road trip in 1974 we drove our van down the Pacific Coast Highway – truly one of the most breathtaking routes in America – as it follows the Pacific Coastline.
We started at the northern border of California where housing and other buildings were scant, and as we got closer to San Francisco I started noticing hyper-cool 70’s buildings, house after house after of-the-moment house – and my adrenaline began rushing. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
Water, Water Everywhere
In the late 1980’s my then new client, Caroline Hirsch, was looking to purchase land on which to build a new Shingle Style home; she made a very wise decision to purchase 5 acres of property that fronts both the Atlantic Ocean, and Mecox Bay…
#TBT: SHELTER Magazine 2006
A well educated, active and very fun guy, with broad interests asked me to assist him with a makeover of his two bedroom apartment in a nice Art Deco building overlooking the Hudson River that had beautiful original steel casement windows and great Western views.
I worked with him to renovates the apartment to take better advantage of the views, integrated audio & video throughout, purchased new, vintage and antique furniture and assisted him with expanding his photography collection. We also added a painting and some prints into the mix.
The apartment was featured in SHELTER (now called INTERIORS) including the cover!
I can report that the apartment had a glorious ten year run as the proverbial ‘bachelor pad’, but the owner is a bachelor no longer. He is now married and has two children living happily on the Upper West Side very near to Central Park.
Enjoy the weekend!
#TBT: House & Garden, January 1997
When the stars align magic can happen!
I was hired by Caroline Hirsch, to work with her and her architect Francis Fleetwood on a new Shingle Style home on a five acre parcel situated on the Atlantic Ocean and Mecox Bay – a site beyond compare….
Familiar Old Friends on Shelter Island
I have had a long love affair with Shelter Island – a place that many people in New York have never heard of; a place some have heard of, but they aren’t sure where it is; a place some have driven through. An even smaller number have been and stayed there! It’s an island between the North and South Fork of Eastern Long Island where time, in many ways, has stood still; for me it is like the Midwest meets New England: It is a very special place.
While it is necessary to take a short ferry to get to the island from either Greenport or North Haven, there are treasures to be found.
I think it is worth the trip, and so apparently does HC&G!
