For anyone who appreciates the Mid 20th Century Modernist, The Higgins Group has  just listed a fine example of local Architect Victor Civkin's work in Fairfield, Connecticut.  The property has been kept to its original design and is replete with Civkin features such as: glass corners, broad overhanging roofs, natural materials, sensitivity to the site and a framed front door entrance.  Exceptional park-like grounds with two great outdoor entertaining areas.  A must see for anyone who appreciates Mid 20th Century Modern. 

Victor Civkin, who after escaping from Russia in the 1920s, settled here in our community. He was employed by General Electric, where he developed the "triangle plan" kitchen that is commonplace today.  Civkin was also responsible for designing GE's exhibit The World of Tomorrow at the New York 1939 World's Fair as well as the design for a new kitchen at the FDR White House. Following World War II, he was the architect of the GE-sponsored Young American Homes; 74 of which were built across the country. After his retirement from GE, he opened his own architectural practice, completing over 900 private commissions.
