Designed by the homeowners’ son, a partner at SOM Architects in New York, the home draws inspiration from Marcel Breuer, whose work is a hallmark of nearby St. John’s University. The layout centers around a courtyard offering serene views of an old-growth forest, while the front of the home opens to a restored prairie, seamlessly blending modernist elements with the natural surroundings.  Fusion Designed partnered with the family to create a home that feels like a private sanctuary. Every element was chosen to honor the ever-changing views, fostering a harmonious connection between indoors and outdoors. Sustainable features include low-VOC paint, water-efficient plumbing, geothermal heating, and custom furnishings crafted with eco-friendly materials, ensuring the home is as mindful as it is beautiful.
