Johnson House, Johnson Fain Architects, 2000

On my way to the Larchmont Village Street Fair, my eye caught this contemporary home or office located at 429 N. Larchmont Blvd. Designed by Johnson Fain Architects in 2000 as a personal residence for Scott Johnson, a general partner in the firm. "The house", as Johnson explains, "ex­plo­res a range from very pri­vate to very pu­blic space in fa­vor of the more pu­blic. Whe­ne­ver a space is de­ter­mi­ned not to be com­ple­tely sec­lu­ded it is mo­ved to­ward the street.” .

A hedge hides a glass curtain wall on a corrugated façade. The property was last listed for sale (September 2009) for $3.25M
