Designed by ICON for my brother David and his wife Holly in 1972-73, this house was located in Katonah NY, on the south side of route 22 just opposite the John Jay House. My sister-in-law loved plants and, when we were writing the program for the house, requested that we give her a small greenhouse. Instead, we organized the house around a sky-lit atrium that soon looked like a jungle. The house was built in 1973-74 and demolished in 2003.
