Diller Scofidio + Renfro have made a building out of a cloud of atomized lake water, designed a museum for the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston that literally opens onto the harbor and devoted an entire multimedia exhibition to the American lawn. Their recent projects include remaking Lincoln Center and transforming New York’s High Line — an abandoned elevated railroad line that runs from Midtown Manhattan to the meatpacking district — into a park. On this and the following pages, in collaboration with the environmental-design firm Atelier Ten, they imagine a guilt-free, sustainable luxury house that thrives on excess, and the couple, M. and J., who live in it.
