Modern House Interior Design by fernlund+logan architects

This early modernist house was designed by Charles Warner in 1940. Afetr been neglected for years, it was given a new life as a secondary residence for a couple of New Yorkers and their kid.

The original circulation and main features of the house were lost when it was converted to a multiple dwelling. Assisted by the original plan, published in a MoMA guide to Modern Architecture in the Northeast States, the house was restored and functionally updated. An enclosed glass walkway facing a rear terrace was reconfigured to link the second floor living area to the exterior. A large stone fireplace was exposed on all sides opening the kitchen to the living and dining areas. The house's most notable feature, a 45 foot long expanse of waist height windows, was adapted as a library for the owners extensive collection of books
