Thorndale Library

Frank Ponterio’s design of The Library showcases instinct for the classic architecture of Howard Van Doren Shaw and passion for contemporary fine living. Anchored by original bookcases and a restored original Nero fireplace, the Library accommodates multifaceted, current lifestyles—it can function as a space for work, retreat for the family or center for entertaining. The room is united by sophisticated lines, carefully curated collections and luxurious natural materials like mohair, silk linen, saddle-toned leathers and cashmere, rendering it the ideal place to work, read, gather and relax.
