""I'd been looking for probably six months," he tells AD. "There are not many unique options in Western New York. A lot of it is very cookie-cutter, traditional prefab homes." Then, while touring potential properties with his friend, interior designer Caryn Dujanovich, Milano got a call: an off-market tip-and a directive to drop everything and get over here now. The duo complied and were among the first to see a 3,700-square-foot, midcentury-modern-inspired hideaway surrounded by dense forest."
""Matt and I both looked at each other and were like, 'This is it.' We just knew," Dujanovich says. "He'd been looking for character, clean lines, and seclusion." The 1979 residence ticked all three boxes-and echoed the very first house that sparked Milano's interest in contemporary architecture. "One of my favorite movies growing up was Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and I loved his friend Cameron's house," he says, referencing the glass-and-steel house devised by an architect who trained under Mies van der Rohe."
Milano searched for about six months amid limited unique options in Western New York, where many homes are cookie-cutter, traditional prefab designs. While touring properties with interior designer Caryn Dujanovich, he received an off-market tip and immediately viewed a 1979 midcentury-modern-inspired residence set in dense forest. The 3,700-square-foot house delivered character, clean lines, and seclusion. The residence also echoed the glass-and-steel aesthetic of Cameron's house from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, an early influence that sparked Milano’s longstanding fascination with contemporary architecture and modern home design.
