Bank of America. Beyoncé. Bubble tea. Some things really are too big to fail. But bringing a 33,000-square-foot house to boisterous, unfussy life is no sure thing. Add to the mix a museum-quality art collection, 24-foot-high ceilings, and a private hockey arena, and you’re one misstep away from a residence that feels larger than livable, too imposing to greet visitors with a sweet embrace.
In the main stair hall, the stainless-steel sculpture is by Tony Cragg, and the artwork is by George Condo.
