The Durisol House is located in a residential area, southwest of the village center of New Canaan, on the west side of Marshall Ridge Road near its junction with Sunrise Avenue. It is a single-story structure, with a steel frame and low-pitch side-gable roof. Its exterior walls are built out of blocks of the eponymous Durisol, essentially an aggregate mixture of wood fibers and Portland cement, and finished in stucco. The roof is sheathed in panels of the same material, covered with tar and gravel. The house has two rectangular components under its roof: the original house to the left, and a former garage which is separated from the main block by a former porch. Both the porch and garage have been integrated into the living space, and a gable-roofed carport now extends in front of the former garage. The interior retains many original features and finishes, include Durisol ceiling tiles. With
