Also, the first Bauhaus inspired home built in the New York northern metropolitan area, preceding Philip Johnson’s own memorable Glass House and the many mid-century modern homes built in New Canaan, CT. The spare elegance of the home represents the brief moment in America’s post-war history when a simple, informal, unencumbered domesticity became fashionable. Philip Johnson’s architecture of the period was inspired by Mies van der Rohe. The Miesian hallmark is evident in the reductive rectilinear design with minimal interruption in the flow of space within the building and out to the exterior landscape. In the Booth House, twenty-eight feet of floor to ceiling glass on one side of the living room commands an expansive view across acres of woodlands. The panorama includes a thirty-six acre nature preserve. The 2320 square foot 3 bedroom home and 800 square foot studio building has been the home of two architects for 55 years. Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.123oldquarryroad.comReal EstateAgencyLogic.comDesigned by New Haven architect E. Carleton Granbery, the house exemplifies the core principles of the modern movement: generous use of glass and wood, clean horizontal planes, open yet intimate indoor space, and the integration of the house and the land. The house takes it cues from the rugged beauty of its 2-acre waterfront site. With a single story and a flat roof, with rock and stone incorporated in the design, and with water views from every room, the house celebrates its surroundings: granite outcroppings and mature trees, which frame the ever-changing views of Long Island Sound and the picturesque Thimble Islands. The 2600 square foot 5 bedroom dwelling provides a shore front counterpart to the contemporary New Canaan legacy.
