Mid-Century Modern Lake House

About the Space

Designed by Gray Organschi Architecture, this Mid-Century Modern waterfront property has been featured on Dwell.com and includes an award-winning guest pavilion recognized with a 2024 Residential Architect Design Award (Custom Home / 3,000 Square Feet or Less). Located just 90 minutes from New York City, the private 2.5-acre property features a 3,600 sq ft main residence, an 800 sq ft architectural guest pavilion and fitness studio, 300 feet of level lake frontage, and multiple architecturally distinct settings ideal for commercials, editorial photography, luxury brand campaigns, television and feature films. The main residence is designed to blur the boundary between indoors and out, with expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames panoramic views of Candlewood Lake and floods the interiors with natural light. The property's east-west orientation captures both sunrise and sunset, allowing productions to create dramatically different lighting moods throughout the day. Perched above the main residence, the award-winning guest pavilion cantilevers toward the lake, creating a striking architectural focal point and a second distinctive filming environment. The upper-level guest apartment captures sweeping lake vistas through floor-to-ceiling glass, while the lower-level fitness studio opens directly to the surrounding landscape. Clad in dark Kynar-coated metal and detailed with warm Western Hemlock interiors, the pavilion blends seamlessly into the surrounding conifer forest while maintaining the architectural language of the main residence. Designed in a refined Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern style, the interiors feature authentic designer furnishings by Vitra, Herman Miller, Knoll, Cassina and Eames, complemented by designer lighting from Flos, Tom Dixon, Louis Poulsen, Gubi and Secto Design. The sophisticated interiors require minimal production styling and are ideally suited for luxury lifestyle, furniture, fashion, beauty, hospitality, automotive and home design campaigns. The property also offers an exceptional variety of outdoor filming environments, including a Scandinavian cedar hot tub, private pea gravel courtyards, landscaped waterfront lawn with mature trees, bocce court, private dock, small sandy beach and a private boathouse with a 400 sq ft rooftop terrace offering spectacular 180-degree lake views. Waterfront amenities include kayaks and paddleboards, while a MasterCraft 8-passenger boat and jet ski are available for filming and photography and are operated exclusively by the owner unless otherwise arranged. The property offers excellent production logistics with convenient access from New York City, generous onsite parking, high-speed Wi-Fi, multiple staging areas and complete privacy. Ideal for commercials, luxury advertising, fashion editorials, furniture and lighting campaigns, automotive productions, home and kitchen brands, hospitality, lifestyle photography, architectural photography, television productions, streaming content, documentaries, music videos and product launches.
