A Well-Grounded Loft
Met Home of the Month: For Steven Holley's home north of New York City Hanrahan Meyers Architects transferred the openness of Philip Johnson's glass house to the rugged landscape.
When Steven Holley, a prominent Manhattan lawyer, decided to build a weekend house north of the city, he knew just where to turn. In the 1990s, Holley bought a loft not far from his Lower Manhattan office. It had large rooms, high ceilings and abundant windows at both ends. But it was in "disastrous condition," Holley says.
"I was worried there would be a million problems if I bought it," Holley says. Luckily, his real estate agent knew a pair of young architects who were teaching at Columbia University while establishing their own practice.
