Contemporary Nod to Mid-Century

Thanks, Roger and Julia, for contributing to our series and for being such wonderful people. We’re looking forward to the upcoming Pulaski Heights Movie Night hosted in your carport.

“The living room captures so much of what we wanted in a design and love about our house,” said Roger. “The sculpted space; the light; the half-wall by the bedroom hall, which opens the space and provides additional room for displaying art; the general sense of well-being (Joie de vivre, if you prefer) which comes from living in this kind of space. Hardly a day goes by without one of us mentioning how much we love living in, and moving through, this area. The intersecting planes are a joy.”

“The pictures which follow capture unanticipated joys which keep unfolding.”

  • The view coming up the stairs from the lower level dramatizes the intersecting planes. It also sets off the mobile.
  • The water feature isn’t at its best this time of year, but the reflections are still captivating. We hadn’t anticipated that the sound of the water feature would be so calming. Passers by sometimes just stop and listen.

(Note: audio of the water feature will appear on our Facebook page along with the link to this post)

  • A sliver of light slices down the wall and bisects a sculpture made of Kissi ‘pennies’ from West Africa.
  • As far as we know, Lori never collaborated with our Lab, Gracie, about the front windows. But sometimes I wonder.
