The private residence of American collector Peter Brant designed in 1972 by Robert Venturi & Denise Scott Brown, Greenwich, Connecticut, USA.  ⁠
⁠
1) The living room featuring Andy Warhol, Lavender Disaster, 1963 .⁠
2) The south elevation has a contrapuntal rhythm of doors and windows recalling a plain Georgian country house, but the green glazed brick in two shades makes a bold Op Art/Art Deco pattern.⁠
3) The dining room with Andy Warhol, Thirty are Better Than One, 1963 and Shot Blue Marilyn, 1964  ⁠
4) The parking garage.⁠
⁠
“A house constructed for a young couple who wanted to house their collection of Pop Art paintings and Art Deco objects and accommodate their growing family. The site is 30 acres, serenely beautiful, flat, open and lightly”. — from Stephen Prokopoff. Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown: A Generation of Architecture. p23. ⁠
