Price Art Galleries – Pacific Palisades, CA

This project was conceived to create a seamless continuity between inside and outside incorporating the beauty and complexity of natural forms, textures, colors and smells into an overall ensemble of built and natural spaces. The process of its design involved collaboration with the client, the artists who created the pieces housed within and the works of art themselves. The 2-story, 2,400 SF gallery is an addition to 1978 Ray Kappe house and houses part of the Owner’s collection of modern and contemporary art. The main space features a double height glass wall overlooking a heavily wooded “natural” landscape. A double-height exterior room is situated between the gallery and the entry and leads to a deck that leads to the main living room of the house. This outdoor room is open to the canopy of branches of 200 year old native sycamores and the sky above.
