The design direction was to craft a residence that would exude the character of a boutique hotel, while drawing inspiration from the client’s art collection. The approach was to create a gallery with portals that frame rooms as a backdrop to the daily life within, reminiscent of the framed paintings. Designed to be provocative in its own way, classical and modern references are deconstructed, reinterpreted, and combined to a create a nuanced aesthetic vocabulary. Unique and experiential, the distinct design style is representative of the family, and exclusive to the home.
Founded in 2014, our philosophy is rooted in the idea that designs should be immersive and activate all senses to evoke a range of emotions. We view each project as an opportunity to create an experience with a story arc and a unique vocabulary used to set the visual stage and create a sense of place. We design from the inside out with a focus on the function, organization, and relationship of spaces, specifically, how their sequencing is experienced. In our practice there is no delineation between exterior environments, architecture and interior design.
