An awe-inspiring collection of contemporary art elevates this three-storey property on The Peak to dazzling new heights.
Art is often one of the last things to be integrated into a design scheme, regarded as the proverbial icing on the cake when it comes to decorating. Not for the homeowners of this spectacular three-storey residence on The Peak, however, whose entire interior aesthetic was upended by the introduction of a new piece.
The artwork in question is actually a pair of large-scale prints from the famed Batman Series by French photographer Gérard Rancinan, two arresting and starkly contemporary images that invite intellectual reflection and provide commentary upon modern family values.
Beloved by the couple, it soon became evident that not only did these acquisitions mark a broadening of their aesthetic horizons and an evolution of their tastes, the installation of the pictures would also require a refresh of their home’s interiors.
Thus began an organic progression of the couple’s abode—as well as an expansion of their already impressive art collection—that embodies their changing influences and appreciations.
