Wolfson Trailer House, Pleasant Valley, N.Y. Ben Schnall, photographer, [between 1949-1950]. 1 photographic print : b&w ; 17 x 24 cm. Marcel Breuer papers, 1920-1986. Archives of American Art.
Ive never seen this house before. incredible. i added a link directly to their web site. more color images and he's taking offers.
This is a great house - thanks for sharing the link bill (And only 2 hours outside of the City, what do you think they are asking?). I wonder if it is the same family as the Wolfson i.e. Wolfsonian Museum in Miami? I prefer Breuer's residences.
no water feature. if you click contact, you get daid diao's e.mail. that would make sense, studio and all. no idea on the asking price. I've been going back over a nice book, "Architecture Without Rules" the houses of MB and Herbert Beckhard. the choices for materials are awsome, cypress, and fieldstone, etc. inside and out. how many wolfsons could there be ?
Just curious in that I am in an expensive store and everything looks too precious and there are no price tags and I am too scared to ask kind of way.
FROM:
The Cabin: Inspiration for
the Classic American
Getaway
By Dale Mulfinger and
Susan E. Davis
Taunton Press, 2001, hardcover,
256 pp., $34.95
Review by Enrique Olivarez, Jr.:
A remarkable example of how an architect can help transform
the basic form is Breuer’s cabin for artist Sidney
Wolfson. In 1949 Wolfson commissioned Breuer to marry
his classic, silver 1930s Spartan trailer with a modernistic,
cantilevered box. The resulting structure is a curious and eccentric
reinterpretation of the cabin form, with a galley, eating,
and personal spaces located in the trailer. Breuer fused a
screened porch and a living room, complete with a doublesided
fireplace, to the trailer, creating a cabin that is open and
livable. Sparsely appointed with modern furniture, it feels like
an urban dwelling rather than a rural one.
Reading about these cabins gives the reader hope that
someday he, too, will happen upon a cabin for sale, see its
potential, and transform it into a space that is both comfortable
and charming."
It seems to have been on the market a long time.
in a sense, everything is on the market.
As in 'everything has its price.'
si'.
I've always wanted to post the FLWright design for a (prarie style) mobile home. no onlince presense though.
hmm, nothing comes to mind. Do you have it in a book? Can you scan?
there's an illustration in robert kronenburg's book "houses in motion". and another book i cant place at the moment too. a digital camera is (would be) higher on my wish list than a scanner. soon come.
