Private Residence
Twelve works for one home. Eleven made in the studio, one still to be sourced.
Bring the property to life.
The client entrusted us with a rare degree of creative freedom. The brief was simple: use art to bring the property to life and give every space its own sense of identity.
Eleven works were conceived and produced within the Atrium studio. The collection will be completed by a significant investment piece, currently being sourced for the client’s newly built winery.
Playful, and rich in colour.
We wanted the collection to hold a range of visual languages, from landscape and figurative work to abstraction and street-influenced pieces. We also varied the scale, shape and format of the canvases, responding to the property’s distinctive architecture and using unconventional placements where the space called for them.
The challenge was to make that variety feel intentional. Each work needed its own identity, while still belonging to a collection that read as one coherent vision for the house.
A corridor shaped by family
Running past the children’s bedrooms, this corridor became an opportunity to create a series of works with a more personal meaning, pieces designed not simply to occupy the walls, but to become part of the family’s everyday life.
The collection brings together individual character, shared experiences and places of significance. One work reflects the personalities of the children within a single landscape, while another draws on a journey that remains especially meaningful to the family.
Together, the works turn a transitional space into something intimate, layered and distinctly their own.
Newton, in streetwear.
The final work in the corridor takes a more playful, street-influenced approach. A contemporary figure of Isaac Newton captures the moment the apple falls, with a hand-blown neon fixed directly to the surface reading: THE SHOW MUST GO ON.
We were drawn to the idea that something so visually simple could represent a moment of extraordinary consequence. Vivid colour, contemporary clothing and the glow of the neon bring that story into the present.
Together, the works in the corridor speak to the values that shaped the series: remain connected to nature, hold family close and continue moving forward.
Stay grounded in nature. Keep your family close. Keep working.
Where sport takes root
A triptych that brings the visual language of basketball into an unexpected botanical world. Familiar forms from popular culture are broken apart and allowed to grow through stems, leaves and flowers, creating compositions that feel graphic, playful and slightly surreal.
Each palette was carefully developed so the basketballs feel embedded within the surrounding forms rather than placed upon them. Transparency, layering and repeated linework allow the organic and graphic elements to merge, while shifts in colour give each painting its own character. Together, the three works remain distinct yet hang as one resolved composition.
Rawness, softened.
The largest work in the collection was conceived as a defining moment for the house. Visible from the open-plan ground floor and again from the level above, it needed to hold its presence across multiple sightlines without overwhelming the architecture around it.
Measuring 360 × 240cm, the painting was made specifically for the natural alcove in the wall, allowing the architecture itself to frame the work. Its scale, proportion and placement were considered as part of the room from the outset.
Inspired by the layered, calligraphic energy of José Parlá, the surface brings together gestural mark-making, graffiti-like rhythms and the texture of a weathered urban wall. A carefully controlled palette and quieter passages soften that rawness, creating a work that feels expressive, atmospheric and balanced.
The collection is still evolving. A diptych will be installed on either side of the polished concrete staircase encountered immediately on entering the property, produced on glass panels and finished in raw metal frames. The final major acquisition will be sourced for the client’s newly completed winery, completing a collection developed over time, in response to both the architecture and the life lived within it.
