Office
Just off the parlor, the casual and cozy Wrightian office is also Dad’s quiet getaway. The asymmetrically abutting walls, supporting a coffered alder ceiling, center on the fireplace—one of five in the home—built with custom Grueby-style tile motif and coloration. Geometric strength and the basic star design speak to the past with today’s materials. Sycamore veneer on the wall and the swivel cherry stool beneath an inlaid leather desk reaffirm the celebration of wood. The swing-out awaits a one-on-one with a son or daughter, and a leather club chair a chat with a client, friend or older family member.
