show all beach house updates saturday april 24 2021 the cool house final chapter the cool house has been our home for seventeen years now that s hard to believe as we d lived in many houses in various countries on two continents before i spotted it on the mlsli website back in 2003 i fell instantly head over heels in love from that moment i swear the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and tingles ran down my spine my love for it has only deepened over the years for its unique architecture and the warm inviting design of the original andrew geller plans through all the renovations really gentle updates we did over the years to bring it up to today s codes we always said that when we felt we were rattling around in it though it would be time to leave and pass it on to someone who would appreciate as much as we have this past year of lockdown and quarantine has made us realize the time has come in normal times visitors friends and family would come and go filling the house with life and laughter but for the past twelve months it s been just us and even using both offices full time and enjoying that luxury we realized that we don t need all this space it s time to look for something smaller i know we ll never find anything as special as the cool house but we have so many memories from our time as caretakers of the house the one that stands out in the forefront is when andrew geller came with his wife shirley and family for his first visit in over forty years stood on the balcony over the great room looked around and said i did good work he truly did not good work but great work unique a work of art for information on the listing contact maria donna at compass real estate posted by modernemama at 3 39 pm labels andrew geller architect architecture contemporary cool house home for sale iconic mid century modern unique saturday january 30 2021 whatcha been up to well instagram ruined blogging for me why spend 30 minutes coding writing and updating a blog when you can post a pic in two seconds and it lasts for ever but this blog is an aide memoir and a history of this uniquely modern andrew geller designed house and so occasionally say every six or seven years i ll pop in to add an update this year has been challenging covid 19 has meant no trips no visits to museums or art galleries and no eating out i ve rediscovered a love of cooking and in the past 10 months we ve only had takeout a handful of times if you had told me a year ago i wouldn t set foot in a restaurant for the foreseeable future i would have thrown myself kicking and howling to the floor but it has been more fun than i could have imagined maybe because of the extreme use of the induction hob the electrolux we put in when we renovated the kitchen gave up the ghost i love my induction hob can t imagine ever cooking on anything else so i upgraded to a bosch zoneless cooktop meaning i can use the whole cooktop not just designated plates with wifi that connects to my phone and watch which means they buzz when the timer goes off cute and handy we also got a new pool heater this summer yes another one they seem to last only five years which if you do the math as i did works out at are you freaking kidding me money per year the only other things of note are decor related working from home meant that rather than not seeing his art every day the guy brought it home we hung the rocco monticolo painting on the balcony over the great room other paintings were reframed by the amazing rockstar framer ripe art framing including four paintings by nadine bouler one by shirley geller artist and wife of architect andrew geller and a will klemm that now hangs in the foyer beautiful things to make this horrible year a little better love it all posted by

on instagram facebook or the twitters will be aware that the past month has involved a lot of heavy work around the yard six months after the big tree came down we lost a couple of large branches of the plum tree in the front this was a sad and a shock but it did open up the view to the south west we saw dogwoods beginning to bloom pretty specimens that we hadn t appreciated before we also noticed how forlorn and frankly tatty the border in front of the kitchen patio had become the guy spoke to the landscaper and before i knew what was happening they had decided to demolish half the front yard front yard after landscaping i had my own issues with the landscaping but they were round the back i d never felt the bridge fitted in with the architecture of the house and although we d had it mended three times it was again in serious need of repair and i was ready to see it gone i also hated the mess of a pool and collection of debris that ran along the dry bed that was supposed to be a gentle bubbling waterfall and stream if the front yard was getting a facelift i was determined the back would have a boost too backyard after landscaping the process was not without out its challenges you cannot imagine my face when i realized that i d be without a privacy screen of plants for at least two weeks staring at soil is not at all therapeutic plus most of the work was done in sweltering temperatures the removal of the old barbecue base involved some serious power tools and moving the stones atop the waterfall drew blood from at least one landscaper but at last it was done the new lawn grew the plants mostly hollies azaleas and rhododendrons went in and the sprinkler guys added new zones so everything would be happily watered and ready to grow yard before let s look at where we were a month or so ago above is a collection of photos taken in the yard over the past 12 years below is the front yard on demolition day the house was hidden and lots of trees had passed their best at least one was completely fried although i lost some of the layers of privacy in the short term in the long term we gained so much more yard awaiting demolition of course the greatest benefit of all this yard renovation is that we can now appreciate the unique andrew geller architecture of the house remembering what it was like when we first viewed the house in 2003 when there were so many trees enclosing the house that we thought we had been misled by the realtor s flyer it s a completely different reality now the house can shine in all its glory for us and every passer by to enjoy this little video below encompasses how i feel now i can relax and kick back reveling in this glorious indian summer in the yard total and absolute bliss posted by modernemama at 4 47 pm 0

of happiness is celebrated for his iconic beach house but he is less well known as a painter yet it was his artistic talents that earned him a mention in the new york times at age fourteen after he won a competition for adults with his painting self portrait on the brooklyn bridge his painting was displayed at the brooklyn museum and he attended art classes there before winning a scholarship to the new york high school of art and music after graduating he took the entrance exam for cooper union claiming that that although he passed all parts it was his skill in free hand drawing that merited him the place andrew geller continued to draw and paint after college filling drawing pads with self portraits and sketches of his artist wife shirley during his army service in world war ii he was often asked to draw his commanding officers as his architectural career took off he produced concept sketches brimming with character and gaiety as well as watercolor renderings of prospective projects but there was less time to paint for pleasure after his retirement from raymond loewy international in 1975 he continued to design houses for private clients and it was not until the late 1980s that he was able to devote time to regular painting expeditions around the north shore of long island with friends and shirley from these excursions he produced a series of watercolor abstract landscapes i am very fortunate to have two hanging in the great room of the cool house one is a small predominately bright blue work from 1994 reminiscent of a pond reflecting the clear sky on a sunny day the other which hangs on the chimney breast is larger and dated july 11 1993 it reminds me of the waters at caumsett park in lloyd neck or crab meadow in northport i have to thank jake and tracy gorst for this wonderful painting and cherie via rexer and her team at ripe art gallery for enhancing its character and beauty with this striking frame throughout the nineties andrew geller experimented with other forms of painting he embraced pointillism both as pen and ink drawings and in large format acrylics and his work was often exhibited in local galleries he continued to paint until a few months before his death in december 2011 one of my favorite geller paintings is also one of his last an abstracted dancing figure among swirls go red purple and green whimsical yet powerful more of andrew geller s paintings and drawings can be seen in jake gorst s comprehensive study of his grandfather s work andrew geller artist and architect deconstructed posted by modernemama at 4 56 pm 0 comments saturday september 26 2015 the upside last week i was in mourning for the magnificent spruce tree that has been the focal point of the property since the lots were divided in the sixties i couldn t imagine what the house would look like without the tree it was designed around being a glass half full person so i knew there would be more light both inside the kitchen and the bedroom above as well as in the yard what i hadn t understood was how the removal of the tree would allow us to see for the first time the design of the house from the north west dining room to the southern garage side it s possible to stand on the far side of the front lawn and truly appreciate how the house nestles into its surroundings a testament to andrew geller s unique architecture at last we can fully compare this side with the backyard facing east side definitely the upside of losing the tree posted by modernemama at 1 43 pm 0 comments labels andrew geller architect architecture

house s unusual design was conceived in part around this enormous mountain spruce tree in the front yard its beautiful fringed dark green arms seemed to offer our home an enveloping hug protecting it
