i feel like owning a piece of architecture like this would be very limiting really, as it pretty much precludes ever playing with architecture or even updating the interiors. i guess that's why it works as a weekend retreat, which is on the spectrum closer to museum showpiece than home.
I second the pool fence comment. Could they have at least painted/colored the inside of the pool to match the oxidized copper at the roof. That would have helped help. If you're keeping the pool. The SS "Pools R Us" ladder there is pretty gruesome too. Do they make those in copper? If you're keeping the pool.
Bought for 9 million. There's a budget for corrections. It's not like Marc Jacobs doesn't know what he's doing. Probably an interesting project to follow.

Marc Jacobs Buys a Frank Lloyd Wright for $9.175 Million
"The fashion designer had been searching for an architecturally significant home in Westchester County to use as a weekend retreat."
It is on Long Island Sound in Rye, NY, with a view of the water.
Beautiful house, not helped at all by that horrible fence and pool.
