Grotta House

The Grotta Home by Richard Meier

Joseph Giovannini

Richard Meier designed the Grotta home to house Sandra and Lou Grotta’s collection of contemporary studio jewelry and significant works in wood, ceramic and fibre. The house was conceived around the collection, framing the objects within the open architecture, which comprises an equal blend of glass and concrete. Nature, visible from many vantage points, plays an essential supporting role. The book is rich in photographs of the collection and provides impressive insights into this exceptionally personal project. The accompanying essay affords the reader a greater sense of how the Grottas have not simply acquired art, but have immersed themselves in it.
