House designed by Jens Quistgaard for sale  

Huh?
I generally think of Dansk as being understated and tasteful. wtf

in essence, it's not a bad design.
I like the ceilings, combination of bricks and wood...
Just the detailing is sometimes over the top and decorative.

I'm diggin' the roofline.
I wonder if a heavy New York snowfall would accumulate in the recesses?
maybe not,

ps the wooden walkway's appear to be added by another architect/designer.

Steep roofs are good with
heavy snowfalls, but all those valleys--they'd better be well flashed!
I like the arches in the brickwork. The wooden grids, not so much--they look a bit fussy and too reminiscent of IHQ's teak trivets.
I really do not like the pod thing around that spiral staircase, which I suspect would look way more beautiful exposed. On the other hand, the awful wide angle photography probably isn't flattering it much. I think the wide angle lens is distorting some other views in a bad way, too.
I really don't care for the roofline on the exterior shots but from inside it's kind of nice, though I'd like to see some pics taken with a regular lens.

one of the most interesting h...
one of the most interesting homes I've seen in a long time. It makes me think of the work of Kay Fisker and Kaare Klint not that I've seen any in person. I appreciate how a link is made from modern design to what I think of at least as more traditional Scandinavian design. I like the details such as the brick work and the built-ins and I love the wrap around staircase, the way it plays with the hallway and the outdoors and the how reminiscent it is to Quistgaards Dansk work. Mr Nierenberg was a man with a vision and this home is visionary! I suspect that this was a collaboration between the two men and the world is much better for it and their work together. Thanks for sharing, coincidentally I have a book about the gardens on the property.
