House for an Art Collector
House for an Art Collector is a simple, modern residence in Glencoe, Illinois conceived as an effortless collage of planes, volumes, colors, and textures. The house is a composition of materials—glass, stucco, lead-coated copper, and mahogany—that define two building volumes and an interstitial space.
From the exterior, the house can be read as a careful composition of solids and voids, with each volume and aperture placed to emphasize public or private functions.
