“This remodeled
brownstone [at 130 East 64 Street] – the architect’s own home – present a
pierced terrazzo screen to the street, behind which the typical narrow, deep
New York town house been converted for contemporary living. The white exterior screen wall
protecting the glass façade has become the signature of the designer, who has
used it variously for a United States Embassy in New Delhi, India, the handsome
American pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair, and a number of commercial and
residential structures.’
