Josef Hoffmann, Palais Stoclet, (1905-1911)

The Stoclet Palace was the first residential project for the Wiener Werkstatte (Vienna Workshops), co-founded by Hoffman in 1903. Josef Hoffman as his colleagues designed every aspect of the mansion, down to the door handles and light fittings. The interior is as spartan as the exterior, with upright geometric furniture and an avoidance of clutter. This was a fashionably avant-garde approach, presenting a ‘reformed interior’ where functions dictates style. The interior of the building is decorated with marble paneling and artworks, including mosaic friezes by Gustav Klimt and murals by Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel. This integration of architects, artists, and artisans makes Stoclet Palace an example of Gesamtkunstwerk, one of the defining characteristics of Jugendstil. The sketches of Klimt's work for the dining room can be found in the permanent collection of the Museum fur Angewandte Kunst

Grant Haffner’s Vibrant Landscapes

Born in 1978 Berkeley, California and raised in East Hampton, Long Island Grant Haffner has been a resident of the East End of Long Island, New York for most of his life. Haffner’s images are inspired by and reflect the country roads, flat landscapes and surrounding water that we all enjoy. His signature motif of utility poles with power lines creates an original sense of movement and depth to his distinctive, colorful compositions.

When talking about his work Grant offers this. “When I drive I feel completely alive. For a small moment, in between this place and that, I am free from reality. My truck and I become a motion of blurred color, barreling through space and time. I like to keep my window open to listen to the sounds that traveling makes, to enjoy the smell of the landscape. Every trip is a new one, not one sunset is the same. On the road I am a part of the painting. I am movement, color, sound, adventure and emotions. This is my landscape.”

368. Myron Goldfinger /// A Luxury Liner (House on Long Island) /// Sands Point, North Shore, Long Island, New York, USA /// 1981

OfHouses guest curated by Nanne de Ru (Powerhouse Company):
“A house that became known as the house of The Wolf of Wall Street, even though it was built for an anonymous client. The house role in the movie, together with the name of the architect (Goldfinger) gives the house an immediate star-status. Goldfinger had designed many private villas, mostly for extremely wealthy clients.”
