Rye, New York
This architectural waterfront jewel is a restrained study in angles and light designed by architect Charles Forberg, son-in-law of Walter Gropius, founder of The Bauhaus School. A sensation of tranquility immediately envelops you upon entering this one acre property positioned for ultimate privacy with it’s wooded, natural landscape. Ascending the graceful curved drive you are greeted with a floating structure that reflects the ambiance of an island experience, having water on two sides. A place for retreat, reprise, play and home with architecture as art seldom found, not often experienced.
