"Mica Ertegun of MAC II Renovates an Estate on Long Island Sound\nDisciplined elegance defines a Colonial Revival in Greenwich, Connecticut, as seen in AD's October 2001 issue\nArchitect Oliver Cope and interior designer Mica Ertegun of MAC II worked closely with Warren and Allison Kanders to transform the couple's house on Long Island Sound.\n\n\"Working in a vacuum is not my ideal,\" says Ertegun. \"It's more fun to collaborate with clients who bring their own ideas to the table.\"\nThe renovation, which Cope calls \"meticulous and detailed,\" included rebuilding half the structure. In the entrance hall, a circa-1940 French table holds a 1985 bronze by Henri Laurens. The inset floor tiles were painted to resemble sandstone.\nA 1934 Raoul Dufy work highlights the living room. The Diego Giacometti low table is from Sotheby's. The circa-1890 French stool is from Lee Calicchio.\nErtegun chose a neutral palette for the dining room, as elsewhere. The Irish table, made for a Dublin children's hospital, and the 18th-century Scandinavian chandelier from the Ch\u00E2teau de Groussay, are from Sotheby's.\nThe bar contains comfortable pieces, including Austrian Biedermeier chairs. The Jean Pascaud sconce is circa 1937. Made in the style of Jules Leleu, the circa-1926 circular tables are from Ritter Antik. Warren uses the screen porch as his \"smoking room.\"\nCope reconfigured a series of small service rooms to create a spacious kitchen, whose white cabinetry is countered by antique terra-cotta tile floors. Most family meals are taken there. \"It's the heart and soul of the house,\" says Allison.\nIn the library, a 1990 photograph by Hiroshi Sugimoto is set against original pine paneling. The circa-1860 Portuguese specimen-inlaid table, foreground, is from Bernd Goeckler Antiques. The Louis XVI library table is from Christie's.\nThe master bedroom, which Ertegun describes as \"peaceful, intimate, and sunny,\" overlooks the garden. A Regency penwork tilt-top table is joined by George III gilt-wood open-arm chairs. \"Mica knows everything about furniture and placement,\" says Warren.\n\"Mica has a lucid, disciplined yet casual elegance,\" says Warren (left, with Allison and William). The painting is by Cynthia Knott.\nThe house's original fa\u00E7ade was extended and Tuscan columns installed. Windows are by Marvin.\nLandscape architects Peter Cummin and Claudia Levy, of Cummin Associates, reworked the grounds and regraded the land near the rear of the house to create a space for entertaining. Cope positioned the pergola between the screen porch and the breakfast room."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
