Indeed, Marie Antoinette's foray into country living comes to mind; like the Petit Hameau, Henry Johnson's diminutive but exquisite compound gives the illusion that it is deep in the countryside. It was Johnson's intention "that the house suggest an evolution from the land"; this it does, plentifully, an enclave nestled among ancient trees and plants. Johnson, even when inaugurating the new, ensconces it, with panache, in the old. The entire house and outbuildings exude and embody a world whose occupant is comfortable with the old—the log cabin guesthouse comes to mind—and the new: a kitchen that would please the most austere Parsons practitioners, in this case inspired by the Minimalist style of British architect John Pawson. Henry's life includes wonderful gardens which surround the house, full of native American annuals, including luscious morning glories. The entrance hall is an intellectual garden, comprising hundreds of books. Garden and library, places of cultivation, earth and soul.
