One of Taylor’s favorite parts about the home is the light, which is why it got its name ‘Casa Leggera,’ AKA ‘House of Light.’ Each room in the North-facing home has at least two sources of light from two different angles. And to attain maximum sunlight — plus the feeling that the rooms are part of the yard — Taylor used floor to ceiling butted glass in lieu of picture windows. But that created a challenge for Taylor, who was accustomed to framing and softening spaces with curtains, to warm up the home. The solution? Adding soft, hand-done and natural materials that age and patina — like limestone and rift sawn white oak — to capture a softer and more authentic contemporary design.
