House of Five Dreams

A pair of prolific art collectors desired to consolidate their Pre-Columbian collection from two locations across the country to one new project. Because their art had evolved from merely a hobby to a full-time profession, the couple decided to have their residence physically co-located but separated from the collection, thereby organizing their lives in a new way. Although the collection is private, scholars and exhibit curators visit often, pieces come and go regularly, and in general, their business is very similar to a standard museum. Therefore, the gallery would need to efficiently and beautifully store and display each piece, with inherent flexibility for growth and change.
