An Interview With Robert van Summern
On a Wilton, Connecticut street filled with colonial homes, one very special home stands out: a towering, seven-level, mid-century modern masterpiece. Referred to as “Fort Apache” by The New York Times in the 1960s, the family home is one Robert van Summern’s most notable architectural creations. One week ago, we called van Summern and interviewed him about mid-century modern architecture and his life as an office planner and architect.
