Richard Lane House (Bob Kaminsky House)

-A A +A
1962, Carl E. Helfrich. 32 E. 65th St.

This house’s generous lot allows for a dramatic carport drive on busy Abercorn Street, while a second entrance on 65th is set back at the rear of a Japanese-styled landscape. The modernist building is elevated off the ground with a low cantilevered main floor, which combined with wide eaves emphasizes dramatic horizontal breadth. Uniform tan glazed-brick walls set in running bond frame window walls featuring abstract geometric patterns. Numerous details enliven the design, from Asian-inspired dragon door hardware to inset cast-stone sculptural reliefs reminiscent of Aztec calendars to freestanding metal screens and a cantilevered entrance pergola at the rear. The interior boasts a central courtyard open via sliding glass doors to all the surrounding spaces.
