"Artistic Expansion\nIn the Midwest Revisiting an Ohio House to Showcase an Extraordinary Collection\nGeoffrey Bradfield redesigned the interiors of a Columbus, Ohio, house he worked on in 1987, now 30,000 square feet.\n\nArchitect Don Goldstein made the fa\u00E7ade more symmetrical.\nMonet's Falaises et Voiliers \u00E0 Pourville, 1882, left, is in the entrance hall. The sculptures are by Botero, left, and Degas.\n\"The interior is focused squarely on the present,\" Bradfield says. The great room doubles as a home theater. Kenneth Noland's Sound, 1958, is above the fireplace. Bergamo wallcovering. Glant chair and ottoman fabric; Clarence House sofa linen; Kravet drapery silk. Stark carpet.\nNineteenth-century Russian armchairs stand in the library, near Les Danseurs, a 1949 oil by Dubuffet. The sculptures are L'Autruche, 1977, by Giacometti, left, and Woman, 1967, by Mir\u00F3. Lee Jofa pillow stripe; Bergamo chair fabric; Stroheim Romann sofa check.\n\"I am a dyed-in-the wool modernist, yet I enjoy using period furniture,\" says Bradfield. In the dining room, Hans Hofmann's Apparition, 1949, hangs between circa 1820 French candelabra on R\u00E9gence ormolu-mounted stands. Lee Jofa blue wallcovering and chair mohair.\n\"Although my clients have become important collectors,\" says Bradfield, \"this project was never envisioned as a museum\u2014always home' first.\" A pair of 19th-century mahogany daybeds anchor a gallery built to house the owners' objets d'art. Kravet Roman shade fabric.\n\"What I most wanted to achieve was a well-defined 21st-century voice,\" Bradfield explains. He custom-designed the master bedroom's leaf-flecked carpet, which was produced by Stark. J. Robert Scott check and sofa and footboard fabrics. Clarence House wallcovering.\nOn the terrace is a fanciful table by Fran\u00E7ois-Xavier Lalanne. The lantern is originally from a Rothschild estate. Janus et Cie chairs.\nThe design of the formal staircase at the rear of the house, says Goldstein, was influenced by Edith Wharton's estate, The Mount."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
