To celebrate Michael Graves’ life, we decided to take a look at his Warehouse. In 1974, Graves bought an old warehouse in Princeton, NJ, and spent the next 30 years renovating it to make it his home.

“The Warehouse’ was originally built in 1927 by Italian masons to store materials while they built the Princeton University campus.

The bookshelves in the library were built from MDF and PVC pipes painted to look like real wood.

Michael Graves’ Kitchen is bright and white, a perfect home for his line of home designs for Target. The existing floors were concrete, which he made beautiful by having them scored and hand-tinted.
