Combining exquisite architectural details, an extraordinary collection of twentieth-century furniture and decorative arts, a world-class contemporary art collection, and an immersive sculpture park, Rowdy Meadow in Hunting Valley, Ohio, is much more than a visionary house. Designed and decorated by @peterpennoyerarchitects and set in 140 acres of countryside comprising apple orchards, meadows, forests and ravines, the house is the brainchild of prominent art collector Scott Mueller. In their new book, “ROWDY MEADOW: House, Land, Art” just published by @vendomepress, the project’s architect Peter Pennoyer and historian Anne Walker guide readers through this extraordinary residence with the help of Eric Piasecki’s photography @ericpiasecki. . .

In the central square still today, in the morning, the itinerant merchants of fruit and vegetables carry out their activity.
