Artists Janis Provisor and Brad Davis Convert Connecticut Ranch House Pool into Studio
Artists Janis Provisor and Brad Davis, known for their exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and Buffalo AKG Art Museum, have acquired a 1950s ranch home in Litchfield, Connecticut. After viewing nearly 50 houses, they prioritized a single-story property that could accommodate a studio. Despite initial concerns about nearby commercial establishments and the home's unique features like an English pub room and shag carpet, they were captivated by the cedar-plank ceilings reminiscent of Japanese aesthetics. The expansive 2,500-square-foot atrium, featuring an indoor pool, appeals to their creative vision as they plan to live and work there throughout the year.
