This is no museum, so the interior was envisioned as a warm, comfortable backdrop for the art it showcases. “The house is very inviting. They are raising their children there, after all,” Frankel observes. The designers did a comprehensive art walk with the couple, prioritizing the placement of works by artists such as Donald Martiny, Jennifer Gibbs and Martin Coronel Ordiales before deciding on furniture. A lithograph of Picasso’s Buste de Femme au Chapeau Bleu, for instance, oversees daily life from a prominent position above a game table in the salon. “The client wanted the Picasso to be in a primary entertaining space so he could see it every day,” Frankel shares.
