David Massey, Maurice Medcalfe’s Home in Stony Point, New York, 1966

A room with a view (and remarkable windows). This beautiful space is the handiwork of architect Maurice Medcalfe, who designed his own futuristic home situated between two traditional brownstone houses on New York’s Upper East Side in the 1960s. The building’s facade is punctuated by twelve oval-shaped, convex windows, positioned in rows of three, earning it the neighbourhood nickname “the bubble house”. This picture, shot for Vogue by David Massey, was taken in the dwelling’s dreamy bathroom, replete with Modernist wicker chair and Japanese bath.
