A 23-foot tall, flagstone-clad fireplace with
a niche for a Zora Pavlova sculpture anchors
the living room (opposite), several steps
below the dining and bar area (above).
Standing works by Philip Baldwin and
Monica Guggisberg line the glass walls
facing the main terrace (left).
And it is a welcome refuge for a globetrotting executive who bided her time
before creating her first custom home. In
2000, Lee bought a 1939 California Art
Deco-meets-modern dwelling designed by
Kennedy Center architect Edward Durrell
Stone, but soon began eyeing a neighbor’s
adjacent property for a guest wing. When
it hit the market, she bought and razed
the small Tudor-style home. Architect
Michael Marshall, an avid Modernist and
principal at Marshall Moya in Georgetown, urged Lee, who is divorced, to build
new digs for her family on the site.
