classic property had a history and very
good bones, but the couple wanted to
transform several things to suit their life-
style and taste.
Ideally located about one hour from New
York City, the house is the perfect refuge
for the two entrepreneurs who are trav-
eling constantly. The backyard garden,
as well as the tall and linear architecture
that reminds them of London townhouses
made them fall in love with this property.
Inside, they wanted to create an East
Coast version of yin and yang, where
soft fabrics and textures would balance
with black accents of furniture and paints
combined with stone.
The couple opted for a light and
restrained palette to give an airy feeling
and a sense of flow that is reinforced by
soft cream cashmere sheer drapes and
curtains in every room. The millwork visu-
ally responds to the original architecture,
subtly connecting past and present.
In the living and dining room, a Cama-
leonda sofa by B&B Italia, a dining table
by Guillerme et Chambron surrounded
by Charlotte Perriand chairs and a
white chair from The 1818 Collective —
among other pieces — create the perfect
atmosphere with a mix of vintage and
contemporary.
The family room features a coffee table
custom designed by Taft-Gersten and
Orange (in Los Angeles) and a sofa
created by ALT for Living in collaboration
with Jouffre. The office, too, is home to
several treasures, including a desk by
Brazilian designer Joaquim Tenreiro, a
rosewood credenza by Kofod Larsen
and a leather chair by Sean Anderson.
In this home, every space is adorned with
a curated selection of items that dialogue
with each other in perfect harmony and
reflects the personality of its inhabitants
