Philippine mahogany paneling lines the walls in the living area. The space is complete with Wright-designed furniture and original Schumacher and Jack Lenor Larsen textiles.

The view from the kitchen looks across the courtyard into the playroom. The Stones stools are by Maya Lin for Knoll; the kid-friendly Teflon-coated Cybele fabric curtain is by Jack Lenor Larsen.

Checking email over coffee, Hughston places his laptop on the fold-down Formica table that Sanders designed. Jack Lenor Larsen's Cybelle fabric covers the wall on his right. Above the sofa hangs an Italian pendant lamp of mysterious origin; if you recognize it, please contact us.

The guest bedroom features a custom bed and headboard by Henstein’s Custom Cabinets of Clackamas, Oregon, outfitted with bedding from the Terra Nova collection by Jack Lenor Larsen for Martex.

The dresser at the other end of the bedroom is by Paul Frankl; the plywood lounge chair is by Ib Kofod-Larsen; and the huge cork-based floor lamp is from Reeves Antiques.

A pair of mid-century perches by Kofod-Larsen sit beneath a print by Andy Warhol in an upstairs bedroom.

While Larsen’s home remains private, LongHouse Reserve’s 16 acres of carefully plotted gardens are open to the public from April through October. For Larsen, planting is a serious industry: “I figured out I could go away on weekends and garden without facing up to leisure.” Flora includes wisteria around the front door.

Textile artist Hiroko Takeda trained in Kyoto and Paris, and later worked for Jack Lenor Larsen in New York. She maintains a one-woman studio in Brooklyn, and her production process includes sending meticulously drawn instructions to craftsmen in Japan, who weave accordingly. Hiroko admits that it is sometimes hard for these elderly craftsmen to understand her unorthodox take on their traditional techniques.

Downstairs are more shelves of records, the master and guest suites, and Jack’s music studio.

Textile designer Jack Leonor Larsen’s fabrics can be seen throughout the Dow home. In the early 1950s Florence Knoll commissioned Larsen’s olive-green and orange textiles for Knoll furnishings.

Sigurd Larsen's kitchen design was also used for the Danish interior and design house Broste's Copenhagen head office. Broste was founded in 1955, and is today one of Scandinavia's biggest brands within interior design.

Industrial designer Nina Tolstrup and her husband, Jack Mama, designed this playful guesthouse just opposite their home in London’s Bethnal Green.

Danish architect Sigurd Larsen needed a new kitchen for his 969-square-foot apartment in the hip Kreuzberg district of Berlin—so he designed his own in collaboration with Reform. Larsen opted for a kitchen in anthracite—as the darker color added contrast to his oak floors and countertops.

Ib Kofod-Larsen secretary: "This teak piece epitomizes Scandinavian utility design. You can use it all your life and it will serve a dozen different functions as your needs change and evolve. The secret locking drawers are so cool." This item has sold, but shop for other Scandinavian secretaries at Open Air Modern.

One-way mirrored glass wraps around a portion of the home. "We wanted it to reflect like glass so that when you sit on the terrace, you see trees or the view in all directions—including when you look towards the house," says Larsen. The mirror effect is slightly distorted, and no birds have flown into the glass.

“We now have the technological and engineering means to construct structurally ridiculous buildings. Gothic cathedrals had to be genuinely ingenious constructions in their time; today, skyscrapers are often forced constructions that work totally against natural laws.” —Juhani Pallasmaa

The teak dining table is by IB Koford-Larsen for G-Plan and the chairs are by Victor Bramwell Wilkins for G-Plan.

The architect, Sigurd Larsen, aligned the openings in the walls to maximize natural light in the room. The folding doors, hatches, and windows of varying shapes and sizes encourage play. "With this room you get a whole house," says Larsen. "Pure and calm from the outside, the many doors and windows reveal a warm wooden interior."

The stairs to the right lead up to the family bedrooms. Directly ahead is the new music room—one of the three additions completed by Larsen in 2020.

Bob’s office has a teak wall unit by Sven Ellekaer for Albert Hansen, a 1960s chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen for Selig, and a vintage Nelson Ball clock.

In the middle courtyard, the Jacks landscaped a small grass mound for Sadie, five, to play on. The house is topped with corrugated steel. “It’s essentially the cheapest material you can get for roofing in New Zealand,” says Beer.

On the other side of the Cor-Ten fireplace is the living room. The custom Augustin sectional and the cocktail table are from Christian Liaigre, and paired with Ib Kofod-Larsen's Seal chair and ottoman.

Danish architect and designer Sigurd Larsen teamed up with Raus to create a 193-square-foot cabin in Berlin, Germany, that lets city dwellers escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and connect with nature.

At the Mill Valley home designed by architect Chris Deam for residents Jack and Ellen Corrigan, the view begins from the top. Sun studies of the steeply sloped site informed the choice for a standing-seam metal, diagonal ridge roof, which Chris refers to as the home’s “fifth facade”.
