FOR GOOD LIVING the owners' interests in music, art, and nature

Above—The owners, and a view of the dining area where two sofas and a bar make a pleasant gathering spot before or after dinner. On musical evenings the hall and dining area, which look down on the living room, turn into comfortable galleries. The Griesingers like the feeling of a "country kitchen," so dining room and kitchen are separated only by the center fireplace, which lends warmth for pre-dinner conversation as well as pleasant charcoal-cooking aromas. The dining area looks out through an expanse of large sliding windows to the pond, and from their glass-walled living room they have a wide view of the lovely Chagrin Valley. In this house, where so much attention is given to individual interests and activities, each child has a room of his own, Mr. Griesinger has an informal study, Mrs. Griesinger has her own sewing area, and all have a screened geodesic-domed gazebo beside the pond for reading and thinking. "The key to the success of a house," says Robert Little, "is what happens to the people inside." Mr. Griesinger acknowledges the architect's success. "In the summer," he says, "we stay at home, sit on the patio, look out over our green valley, watch the bass jump in our pond, and thank our stars." Left—Living room is designed to accommodate chamber musicales and art treasures. Two-way fireplace opens on both dining area and "country kitchen," has an invaluable third flue for incinerating waste paper. Suburbia Today, June 1961 23
