My project is about creating a private house

for the Duke of Sutherland and an ornamental space

for the display of the Bridgewater Collection, which

would negotiate open public access and the secretive

and discrete lifestyle of the client. The Bridgewater

Collection, owned by my client, is considered to be the

greatest private collection of ‘Old Masters’. It was part

of the famous Orleans Collection, bought indirectly

from the Duke of Orleans. The focus in my ornamental

design is the concept of ‘metamorphosis’, based on the

Titian’s series of paintings depicting Ovid’s mythology,

which manifests itself in anatomical transformation in

my naturalist ornament, perspectival transformation in

geometric ornament and material evolution of the column.

The controversial sale of the two Titians by the

Duke of Sutherland to the nation for £100 million, funded

by the ‘Campaign for the Titians’ has had many critics.

My proposal is to fund a new gallery in Hampstead Heath

by the National Trust, and as part of the deal, a private

house for the Duke of Sutherland would be built, under

the condition that the artworks remain publicly accessible.
