Modern House in Connecticut By Renowned Architect Rafael Viñoly
191 Ridgebury Road is one of the rare private residences designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, best known for his towering urban projects.
The modern house was built in 1985 for Alice Lawrence, the widow of real estate mogul Sylvan Lawrence, designed to showcase her vast art collection with expansive, light-filled spaces and showroom-worthy Atrium, featuring unique architectural detailing with curved walls and angular lines.
The 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence has a Chef’s kitchen with Wenge African Hardwood & stainless steel cabinetry, and comes with a luxurious master suite with a spa-like bath and a private Penthouse Library and Observation Deck, offering spectacular views over the Hudson River.
Constructed with rare and imported materials, the sleek steel, cement, and glass structure is estimated to have exceeded $25M in construction costs at the time of building, with an additional $3M in landscaping the 4.72 acre lot.
Surrounded by travertine terracing and a magnificent outdoor pool, in addition to a 58-foot indoor lap pool, accessible from the Guest wing.
