ART + ARCHITECTURE Many of the design decisions were inspired by the art—a top priority for the clients. The first commission by Los Angeles artist Francine Turk established the palette for the living room and adjoining areas. Known for her figurative work, Francine works with abstracted color relationships to invite the viewer into the depth and simplicity of her work.
