Tuttle Residence

The client, Mr. Wylie F. L. Tuttle Jr. was a native New Yorker, attended Columbia University and served as a Navy pilot during World War II. He gained fame as an American real estate developer who was behind the construction of the Tour Montparnasse, the tallest building in Europe upon its completion in 1972.
The project consists of a 12,520 sq. ft structure, situated a mile away from the property line.
Construction of the residence is completed in 1986.
The residence is covered in bricks and roofed in copper, composed of two main living spaces that are connected by a long and narrow passage, serving as an art gallery. A courtyard was later added between these two spaces.
The house has a laminated wooden structural frame, with a tall trapezoidal shape. It defines the style of the structure and the way in which the house functions.
Mr. Tuttle passed away in 2002, and the Tuttle family still owns the house as of 2020.
