Fair Oaks, CaliforniaThe Gallery House is a 2,200 sq.ft. modern home in the suburbs of Sacramento with a playful sculptural exterior and a warm interior. One of the main elements of the design was to allow our clients to display their growing collection of art, both inside and out.

The building’s basic form is a gable that has been split and then slid apart to create the central spine of the home. On the interior, this spine serves as a gallery to showcase artwork. The gallery space is the divider between public and private spaces. With the limited construction budget for the project, but the Owner’s desire for some dedicated art space, our goal was to eliminate the typical hallway which “eats up” square footage. While the gallery space serves as the main circulation route, it also becomes flex space enabling the dining and living areas to expand to accommodate larger gatherings. To highlight the artwork, we positioned the building on the land to capture the northern light. The roof was shaped to create an angled ceiling plane to reflect the incoming natural light down onto the lower display wall surface.
