a collector’s home

Historic French antique with a Nancy Rubins wall drawing above it, dark wood floors, traditional millwork and a contemporary sculpture on the chest in this luxurious contemporary traditional home.

Traditional architecture. A fearless contemporary art collection. Years of collaboration to make the two inseparable.

This classically-detailed new build—coffered ceilings, carved limestone mantels, paneled millwork—was always designed to hold something bolder. Working closely with this couple over many years, we acquired, curated, and styled an evolving collection of contemporary works that now live throughout every room with intention and confidence.

White walls and marble, contemporary metal stair rail, wood millwork create a grand stairwell, stacked from floor to ceiling in framed contarmporay and historic artwork. This luxurious new build melds contemporary and traditional elements for grand.

A staircase transformed into a salon-style gallery. Expressive abstracts commanding bedroom walls. A sticking figurative work anchoring the living room above a carved mantel. Nothing was rushed. Everything was considered.

The result is a home that is refined and restless in equal measure—a true collector’s residence built not just to impress, but to live in deeply.
