In the family room’s secondary grouping, a bronze, steel and brass cocktail table
recalls a classic Jean Royère design. Colorful pottery on the cocktail table and
a green glass bowl on an occasional table enhance the room’s artistic interest.
 
 
Nearby, the spacious dining area easily accommodates 12 at the sleek, anigre-topped table. Armless chairs and a buffet complete the grouping. Above, a pair of Josef Hoffman-inspired glass light fixtures from Austria references the geometric lines of 1920s design.
A more casual, whimsical tone prevails in the
family room, where orange and blue punctuate the lime-green and yellow scheme. “This area was originally two small enclosed rooms that the owners wanted opened up to the rear view

outside,” Estreich says. Two conversation areas comprise the space — a larger one defined by a panoramic, black-and-white
photo assemblage on the wall, and a smaller
grouping positioned near the windows. In both areas, Green combined plump furniture upholstered in bold, Bauhaus-inspired prints with streamlined metal and wood occasional tables for an offbeat modern mix.
