About

Our process begins with a survey of a collection. The client will receive a design set to reflect art placement, lighting designs, interior elevations and any custom display pieces.

All designs will curate the exhibition spirit of the collection. For new builds or larger renovations, early collaboration with the architect allows for best results.

Examples of a project may be designing a new display vignette for an art acquisition or bringing the collection into a new home.
