Robsjohn-Gibbings low table and Harvey Probber bentwood bench, Eric Appel. Drapery fabric, Larsen. Sofas, Cassina. Odegard rug.\nAt Bell's request, the architect put a fireplace between the living and dining areas, one with a mantel that cantilevers out on one end to double as a bar. Rietveld chair and dining chairs, Cassina. Pollack shade fabric in dining area.\nDuring solo and chamber performances with friends, guests take a seat in the living area and the piano is moved into the library/study, which conveniently becomes a staging area. Eva Marie Ruschak contributed to the decoration.\nThe master bedroom is minimally furnished. \"The architecture rules,\" Bell says. \"I didn't want to mess with the materials.\" Window seat fabrics, Larsen.\nA glass-and-oxidized-steel stair leads to the mezzanine balcony and, finally, the roof terrace.\nThe terrace's steel-and-glass structure is a skylight, proportioned to hold the stair that gives way to Bell's outdoor room.
