The collective nature of Primary drove the concept for the architecture as a multi-functional space that is part gallery, studio, and home.

As the architecture stretches across the site, it creates a variety of distinct environments while shifting the boundaries of what is considered interior and exterior. The combination of white walls with natural construction materials and landscape creates a space that is vast, raw, and organic.

This, in part, is what makes Primary unique – it offers a range of experiences and relationships that allow us to evaluate the way we see things.


K/R (Keenen/Riley), is a knowledge / creativity-based practice dedicated to art and architecture, K/R’s collaborative effort has made distinctive contributions in master planning, urban design, interior design, museum planning, exhibition design, sustainability, and education.
