A STORY THROUGH ART
Entry Sequence - A Story Told Through Art
We transformed this 1970s townhouse in Princeton, NJ into a story of the world travels of the owners. We told this story through their collection of art.
As they traveled, they collected sculptures, paintings and other artifacts. Each piece is a story of the place where they found it.
The entry of the home has been transformed into a sculpture display leading the eye and the person up the stairs to the main living room. We introduced a series of stepping display shelves - irregular in size and height - to allow for a rotating exhibit of different works from their collection. This transformed the entry sequence into a story of the owner's lives in travel.
The idea of display was continued throughout the house, allowing for small "surprises" in the detailing of the space and the method of display.
We all felt that the best expression for the space was to keep a simple black & white color palate, In effect, we made the space a blank canvas so that their eclectic collection of art and furniture would become the primary feature throughout the home.
