Art programmes for private residences.
For villas, large apartments and multi-floor homes. The Artemist designs, commissions and curates site-specific art programmes — alongside your architect and interior designer, from concept through handover.
Composed across the rooms you spend the most time in, and the rooms guests see first.

- Supporting worksSized for studies, bedrooms, hallways and transitional zones.

- Material curationFinishes, frames and mounts.
- Production managementIn our studio and across our network of galleries, consultants and artists.

Across the residential register.
Some begin in design development; some begin once the home is built and the walls are waiting.
- VillasFull-home art programmes, often coordinated through the architect or interiors team.
- Large apartments & penthousesMulti-room compositions, with attention to the spaces guests see first.
- Multi-floor homesCoherent direction across levels, often anchored around stairwells or atriums.
- Heritage residencesSensitive integration into existing architecture and material palettes.
- Second homesQuieter registers, scoped for slower use.
Two to ten months. A single anchor at the short end. A full multi-room programme at the long.
We confirm phasing in the proposal and we honour it.
Most residential programmes begin in design development. Some begin once the home is built and the walls are waiting.
The path depends on shape, not size alone.
Residential commissions sit across three of our four sections. If you're not sure which fits, send a brief and we'll route you.

Common questions.
What does a residential programme include?
Art planned and commissioned across a villa, large apartment or multi-floor home — alongside your architect and interior designer, from concept to handover.

Bespoke is a single commissioned piece; The Edit is four-to-six works for design professionals; the residential Consultancy is a full-home programme.
How long does it take?
From about six weeks for a focused scope to ten months for a whole-home programme, worked back from your move-in date.
Do you work with our interior designer?
Yes — we work alongside your architect and interior designer, to the scheme.
