Kramlich Residence – Herzog & de Meuron
Located in the beautiful landscape of Napa Valley, California, the Kramlich Residence is both a home for the Kramlichs and a dedicated space for the Collection. Designed by Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron and developed over the course of two decades, the Residence serves as a testing ground for innovation in preserving, presenting, experiencing, and living with media art.
The Residence’s galleries, totaling 8,000 square feet, are custom-designed and reconfigurable to accommodate the space, sound, light, and technical needs of the art on view. Works are viewed one-at-a-time and at a pace dictated by the works themselves, fostering thoughtful consideration of each. While there is some delineation between gallery and living space, the Residence embraces a fluidity between art and life, setting an unprecedented model for how to present and live with media art.
