Buckhead Collector's Home

A serious collector of 20th-century American art needed his home to stop fighting his collection. The walls were wrong, the lighting was wrong, the furniture competed where it should have receded. We rebuilt the interior around the art — not as a gallery, but as a home that happens to live with significant objects. Every material decision was made in service of what was already there.

The best thing we did was nothing visible. We removed things, quieted things, stepped back. The collection had always been extraordinary. It just needed the room to breathe. — Elise Calloway
