The house’s exterior is clad in enameled metal and what Ceglic calls “off-the-shelf” parts from commercial building manufacturers, like the 20-foot aluminum-framed window.
Guests approach Jack Ceglic’s house through a courtyard lined in pea gravel and framed by cement walls draped in ivy and pink clematis.
The sitting area includes a slipcovered Philippe Starck Lord Yo chair and a pneumatic table that rises from cocktail to dining height; floor lamps are by Ingo Maurer.
An Australian tree fern hovers over the primary living space, which includes a Panton chair from Vitra, vintage De Stijl chairs in blue-painted steel, and a dining table designed by Joe D’Urso.
A classic Hudson Bay blanket complements the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the master bedroom.
The custom stainless-steel fittings in the kitchen are from Kitchen Consultants, the same resource Ceglic used while designing the Dean & DeLuca stores; the stools are by Jeff Covey.
An enclosed courtyard includes a Ceglic-designed bluestone table and Bertoia chairs from Knoll; recycled-plastic stools from Moss double as side tables.
Completed last year, Ceglic’s art studio is a single room with enormous garage doors at both the north and south ends.
Ceglic primarily makes portraits in oil, charcoal, Prismacolor pencils, and oil stick pastels. The portrait on the easel is of Anthony Gammardella.
Portraits hanging above the artist’s flat files are of Eileen Roaman and Steve Miller.
