Owner of home furnishings brand ALT for Living and co-founder of design hot spot The 1818 Collective (with Kristin Fine), Analisse Taft-Gersten is a busy, multitalented woman. However, both she and her husband managed to somehow find time to renovate this Connecticut house. Built in the 1900s as a two-family home, the structure was converted to a single-family home in the 1980s. About one hour from the hustle and bustle of New York City and their working life, it is ideally situated walking distance to all the shops and restaurants of the small historic town of Greenwich.
‘It was a big challenge to design this project during Covid in less than six months,’ says Analisse. ‘The house had amazing bones and history but needed a lot of work to suit our lifestyle and aesthetics.’
