ABOUT

For this fully reimagined Logan Circle rowhome, we worked closely with the collectors to build a contemporary art collection that felt both atmospheric and deeply alive within the architecture of the space. The home itself became a sanctuary — quiet, layered, and immersive — where each work was selected not simply to occupy a wall, but to transform the soft, subtle emotional experience of living within it.

Visitors are first greeted by a monumental work from Avish Khebrehzadeh: a towering, life-like tree composed of graphite, pastel, thread, and layered Japanese paper delicately hand-tied together. Ethereal and dimensional, the piece draws the eye upward, amplifying the soaring verticality of the home while introducing an immediate sense of movement and soft stillness all at once. The walls in this home are a milky vanilla. This piece doesnt pack a powerful color punch on purpose. It is also milky and layered and subtle, the closer you look you see hues of blues and greys but only once you look. In direct conversation with it hangs across a a luminous and playful painting by Dashiell Manley, whose shifting surfaces and playful treatment of light and playful layers of paint allow the work to evolve continuously throughout the day. Together, the pieces create a dialogue between material, atmosphere, and perception — mystical, responsive, and quietly kinetic. Upstairs, within the primary bedroom, the collectors wake each morning to an image of a horse racing beyond an approaching storm, suspended beneath layers of natural thread nailed to the edges of the Katharine Heyl work in her signature medium. The work is restrained yet emotionally charged: a meditation on momentum, resilience, and instinct. A daily reminder to move toward possibility — to outrun fear, pursue ambition, and keep going even as darkness threatens and gathers at the edges.

Throughout the home, the collection is still evolving and was curated to feel lived with rather than staged — deeply personal works by exceptional contemporary artists woven into the rhythm of everyday life, where light, texture, and storytelling relevant to the clients and the home’s architecture remain in constant motion.
