Property Description
The Conrad and Libby Buff Residence | Buff & Hensman FAIA, 1988. There were few architects that so deftly handled the building code changes of the late seventies as did Buff & Hensman- creating an entirely new aesthetic to expand upon the principles their work was celebrated for: dramatic spatial experiences, expertise in siting, and a mastery of scale and proportion. Conrad Buff III's last home, designed for himself and his wife Libby, is one of the firm's most sophisticated examples of this period. As is often the case with the homes that architects create for themselves, it displayed a daring and uncompromising example of his design philosophy. The street level view of a monolithic vertical volume is deceiving. Once inside, the vertical exterior quietly yields to a breathtakingly expansive horizontal expression on the second floor. At this level, open plan living area and dining room, kitchen, and an unexpectedly large outdoor space are able to flourish- with indoor and outdoor "rooms" allowed to flow into one another, while still providing exceptional privacy from the street. The west elevation extends onto multiple view facing sleeping porch/patios. At the east facing, a floor to ceiling window wall and sliding door connects the living area to a spacious patio with a spa tub
