A private art cave created for two art collectors in Napa Valley..
"it’s a cool and elegantly proportioned backdrop for the art, but it’s powerful in its own right. Two understated portals, flanked by panels of Cor-Ten steel that will rust to near-invisibility in the landscape, lead, through smaller galleries, into (and out of) the 5,750-square-foot cave’s main space, which is 114 feet long, 27 feet wide and 23 feet high. A series of “pockets” were carved into the barrel vault of the ceiling to conceal fixtures that subtly wash the walls and artworks with an even light."
