Design Matters
Collins Gallery, W. Hollywood, Calif.
Architect: Tighe Architecture

In this project, a 1,400-square-foot existing structure was remodeled to combine the public function of an art gallery with the domestic components of a house. A new load-bearing wall bisects the building, creating two distinct zones. The project received a 2003 Institute Honor Award for Interior Architecture.
