Eye Candy. Today's Home & Garden focuses on large families embracing city life. The Antisuburbanites looks at three families and how they've adpated their urban living space for their large families...
- Los Angeles: A Crowded Family Enters the Space Age. Architect Neil Denari's futuristic addition to the Alan-Voo's bungalow. Amazing photos!
- London: With Patience, a Family of 6 Builds Up. The Rogers-Musgrave family build a glass house on top of a Victorian Loft building. (It helps when your father is Pritzker-Prize-winning architect Richard Rogers.) Again, amazing photos!
- New York: Renovating for a Flexible Future. The Venderbush-Delson family modestly adapt an East Harlem brownstone.
- Sherry Turkle, psychologist, M.I.T. professor and author of the new book “Evocative Objects: Things We Think With” is Really Thinking About Things and our relationships with stuff.
- Room to Improve: How do I clean a fabric lampshade? and My husband has more than 1,000 record albums. What is the best way to display some of them?
- Personal Shopper: Blankets.

While the home with the addition atop the Victorian loft is GEORGEOUS!! I have to wonder how a family with only 4 kids outgrows a 4-bedroom home and "needs" to build that big a space.
Well, it was 4 kids and 2 adults in 1100 sq. ft...
That glass box on top of the masonry building is just ridiculously overscaled and out of context. Shame on the irresponsible bureacrat that allowed this to happen. And for people who are so hellbent on living like they are in the suburbs, why don't they just move to the suburbs already? Just another classic case of the rich perched in their hilltop mansions looking down at the commoners in the valley below...
I live in the Palms district of LA. There are few modern homes like the one in this acticle. It's beautiful. I hope to be able to find the location someday.
“This is London. This is real.”, yep, $3.5 million and a Pritzker winning Dad worth of 'real'.
Would love to see AT profile some families with less dollars making do with small city spaces.
that home in LA is simply stunning......
