The house's original owner and designer was the architect John Black Lee, who transformed the town of New Canaan into a hotbed of Modernism. The current owner is a finance executive and a lighting designer, bought the property from Lee in 1990 and hired Kengo Kuma to design a Japanese inspired, L-shaped addition that sits just to the west of the original. The interior is almost entirely open, with very few walls. Instead, stainless steel mesh screens differentiate circulation space from other parts of the program. The structure is composed of steel columns only 3 inches wide and 6 inches deep, with equally minimal steel beams, and a roof supported by exposed glue-laminated spruce joists.
