Designing Homes for Personal Art Collections

Many of our clients have acquired a number of art pieces, which they not only love, but which are important reflections of their personal aesthetic and history. These collections include paintings, photographs, sculpture, pottery, rugs, and mixed-media, and we always take into account the best places for artwork display in our home designs.

On a current project we've input selections from our client’s collection, and included them in our 3D models and elevations of the house design, as this kind of visual reference allows everyone to discover the answers to a variety of questions that we fold into various aspects of our design:

• How will the style and scale of the pieces work in the new space?

• How will the designs' color palette work in relationship to the art pieces?

• How will each piece be illuminated?

• How much sunlight will the art be exposed to?

• How will we protect the collection from sunlight and people traffic?
