Ford, nyumba hii ya kihistoria ya kuni katika Greenpoint inakumbusha uzuri wa mapumziko ya kijijini iliyounganishwa na mvuto wa milele wa nyumba za mtaa za London. Imerenovishwa kwa uangalifu na wanandoa wa mbunifu-mjenzi maarufu kwa kazi zao za urejeleaji wa kifahari, kila kipengele kina hadithi—kutoka kwenye dari za bati zilizohifadhiwa na mapambo yaliyofanywa kwa mikono hadi kwenye muundo wa mifuko na vifaa vilivyokusanywa ambavyo vinatoa hisia za mashairi yaliyopitiwa.
