James Rose Center for Landscape Architecture + Design

The house is unassumingly settled in a normal suburban neighborhood in Ridgewood, NJ - and the moment you walk inside you are transported. It’s small, but feels endless the more you explore. Although the home is one story including living quarters and a full kitchen, you can access the roof deck which is completely open air and feels almost unfinished - although it’s perfectly incomplete. James Rose was one of the leaders of the modern movement in American landscape architecture. Many of his original photos and sketches still remain in the home.

Philip Johnson, Glass House

I loved every moment of visiting The Glass House, designed by Philip Johnson in 1948 in New Canaan, CT. Quietly secluded behind a short driveway nestles the home of Philip Johnson - an American architect best known for his works of modern and postmodern architecture. Among his most familiar designs are 550 Madison Avenue in New York, the “Lipstick Building” (885 Third Avenue in NYC).

Photos shot on black and white Nikon 35mm film and Nikon Z7.
