Story summary
- John and Christine Gachot bought a house on Shelter Island in 2017 that includes a 19th-century carriage shed, which they transformed into an art studio and recreation room inspired by John Gachot's father's former studio.
- The space features a Pac-Man arcade game and a pool table.
- Away from Shelter Island, the couple run a busy Manhattan design firm and rely on these retreats for balance.
