The design seeks to establish a distinctive sense of place that balances grandeur, whimsey and modernity. Classical and modern references are deconstructed, reinterpreted, and combined to a create a nuanced aesthetic vocabulary. Inspired by the client’s collection of Hudson River School style paintings, and the decorative frames that surrounded them, a conceptual language of framing rooms within the architecture emerged. The program and arrangement of rooms are dissected into a series of carefully framed vignettes that celebrate and bring focus to the activities that occur within them.
