We are so glad to be back for this week’s edition of Which One? Wednesday. Both of these very different homes were photographed recently for Michael Greenberg & Associates.
Now, I’m definitely a modern home kind of girl. No question about it. And I love this first interior on the left. This home, as I understand, was designed in part as a show piece for a spirited art collection, and it is tremendously successful as such. It also brings the landscape in from the outside, which is one of my weaknesses for the modern aesthetic.
Rustic, to me, hearkens thoughts of Vermont and Maine and skiing (which I do not do at all) and snowboarding (which I do not do well). So maybe I’m most drawn to the space on the right because it is still winter here in New England. And there are so many good books around. I swoon over libraries as you may know. Right now, I just want some morning light, a good book, and to be curled up on that couch until spring.
Which space would you like to inhabit if just for a moment?
If you’re new here, (or you just don’t remember because it’s been so long), on Wednesdays I open up the comments for you to tell me which view from a recent photo shoot you prefer. And why. I love hearing what you have to say. You can peruse past Which One? features here.
This luxurious, subterranean wine cave, designed by Andrew Bartolotta AIA of Beinfield Architecture, won an award in the months I’ve been off the internet grid. The Connecticut AIA bestowed the coveted Encompassing the Art Award for Architecture on this project at the end of 2012.
I can’t help but imagine the award had something to do with the wall of brightly colored cylinders that are actually repurposed snare drum cases. That’s clearly my favorite design element because if it’s uniqueness, but also because the LED lighting glows through the acrylic adding a playful sparkle to what could easily be a much more serious room.
All I need is a tasting table and a cocktail dress…
Last week we had some puddle controversy. The outdoor shower should be luxurious, not distracting. Who wants to be reminded they need to go home and mop their floor? Nobody. Especially me. My floor, which I am ignoring in favor of work so far, has a light sheen of toddler from all the ice cream served this past weekend.
Since I have another week to get this competition entry together, we are revisiting our modern, Cor-Ten, pool pavillion. I promise, after this post I’m going to be sick of it. Actually, I don’t think I could ever get sick of this amazing structure, which I just learned was originally conceived as a tractor rusting away in the field, but I promise to show you a different project next week since this is the 3rd time (who’s counting?) I’m asking you to chime in here. Without further ado, here’s the big questions:
Which image best represents the outdoor shower?
Thanks for all your input. I really enjoy the discussion every week. And I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. I’m thinking of crashing the Pool Pavillion…

You’ve already seen the other side of this incredible, corten steel pool house with the green roof when you helped me choose the one representative shot for this project. Well, I am revisiting this shoot once again to cull the best images for a design competition entry.
I have a few more views and details to edit from the day, but we definitely need that image that just makes you want to stop everything and jump in. It’s a gorgeous and innovative structure by Beinfield Architecture, but it’s still a pool house.
So, pray tell, which one most makes you want to grab your swimsuit (or not, if you know what I mean) and be transported to this private haven?
I am a huge fan of pools. Huge. I’ve been enjoying ours tremendously. And I hope you, too, are enjoying your summer with a bit of fun and luxury.

A lot of people go to work every single day to offices that are vanilla. Just bland and uninspiring. (That expression’s not really fair to vanilla, is it?) A cubicle in a vast sea of beige or grey.
Well, be jealous. It’s a totally energizing and creatively fueled atmosphere over at the new offices of Madison|Mott, a marketing, advertising and design powerhouse located in Westport, Connecticut. And I can tell you after spending the day there for the shoot, the office design definitely reflects the spirit of the organization. So congratulations to all those involved in the process, including interior designers Tricia Izzo and Carolyn Kron of Shelter Interiors LLC.
These uptown/downtown offices belong to the 2 top dogs over at Madison|Mott. They had a lot of involvement in the design of their individual spaces, which are on point with their own brand:
“We’re weird. Good weird. Simply put, we’re different than other firms, and proud of it. We unabashedly embrace modern day digital advances while upholding the tenets of classic marketing and advertising, to our clients’ advantage. We’re techie and traditional, we’re chic and punk, we’re Madison and Mott. We do all kinds of stuff, including: IDENTITY/BRANDING, PRINT, WEBSITES, MOBILE & SOCIAL.” from the Madison|Mott website
So for today’s Which One? Wednesday, instead of asking which photo you like better, I’d like to know which space you’d rather be immersed in every day to get your creativity flowing. I’m clearly more of a downtown kind of girl, and I am really drawn to the bright, bold colors on the right, but I have to admit, the glamour of that office on the left is calling to me. I’m torn. It’s an Audrey versus Vader kind of decision… Use the force.
