Jasper Johns' Studio and House Circa 1970
Favorite
Share This house started life in the 30s as a barn. In the 70s it was purchased by modern arts legend Jasper Johns who hung out here with pals like Merce Cunningham, Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage. Needing a space to paint, Johns turned much of the second floor into a double-height studio, which gets glorious natural light from a combination of skylight, windows, and unique floor-to-ceiling windows that roll up like garage doors. He gave the rest of the house a similar mid-century, open plan treatment while adding a long deck and keeping the rustic features of the barn -- the exposed beams and wood walls.
The house sits against a hill on a lot of 1.29 acres. It is bounded by an old stone wall and a meandering stream, and is surrounded by ancient trees and rather undisciplined bracken. The wild, rustic look has attracted many fashion photographers. (References available on request)

Lovely setting close to the city, but felt like a world away.

This house is a great oasis in the woods. Close enough to the city to get to with ease. The ability to have a studio setting out here while also having the woods and character of the house is rare.
