A house shaped by an artist
The story of the Triangle House is as unconventional as its silhouette. Perrone, an artist whose career has included exhibiting work across Europe and later exploring woodworking and graphic arts, eventually turned his attention to creating a home that reflected his artistic sensibilities, states the Realtor report.
asserted
report → shape → sensibilities
Domus Archive notes that Perrone had previously lived in spaces ranging from a solar house to a warehouse before creating the triangular residence in Buffalo.

The design was developed with architect Kevin Connors of eco_logic STUDIO, resulting in an approximately 2,000-square-foot open-plan home.

For Perrone, the shape offered an unusual sense of openness, with the rooms appearing to expand depending on where one stands within them.

An interior full of unexpected details

Perhaps the most surprising feature is the glass elevator, designed with a time-capsule quality that connects the home's levels.
asserted
that → design → levels
The elevator and staircase lead toward a generous primary suite, which can accommodate a sitting area or home office.

Its location adds another dimension to the property's appeal.
