The interior marble flooring and exterior granite surfacing blend well to complement the spare white modules. Both materials were chosen with climate in mind: granite because it both absorbs less heat and is easy to clean, marble because it cools down the interior.

Completed in 2009, the studio shines in the night among the trees. Weiselberg and Semaan devised a clever foundation system that allowed them to avoid ripping up roots. “The floor is a concrete slab on a steel deck that sits on a spider web of steel beams,” Weiselberg says. “There are eight piers per side of the structure, each designed so that if we dug the 12-inch hole and there were roots underneath, we could move it along a certain radius. The base is like a skirt that is just hanging off the building.” So while the floor floats a foot above the ground in the couple’s backyard for now, it could one day easily be picked up and moved elsewhere.

Brightening the kitchen was a renovation priority. The cabinets are custom, the sink is by Kohler, the ceiling lamp is Jasper Morrison’s Smithfield C for Flos, and the Castore pendants are by Artemide.
