Step Inside this Unique Home with a Glass Rotunda Library

This architectural masterpiece at 6 Little Cove Place, Old Greenwich, Connecticut is a unique

shingle style home

organized around a glazed octagonal interior court that serves as a

library

and entry hall.

The house on Greenwich Cove was designed by Christopher Pagliaro Architects (formerly Pagliaro Bartels Sajda Architects). The architecture transforms from classically sedate to explosively baroque as it moves towards the waterfront with private dock.

Inside the 4,080-square-foot home, every room has a different feel. It features many curvilinear shapes. A large contemporary chandelier inspired by a Byzantine church hangs inside the hallway.
