Inside an Art Collector's Home Where a Gallery, Guest Wing, and 1,200 Cookbooks Coexist
"As an established member of the board at the newly reopened Studio Museum in Harlem, Miller has long been immersed in conversations about how art-particularly by Black artists-is seen and experienced. So it is little surprise that his modernist Indianapolis home acts not only as a vessel for showcasing some of the most significant works in his collection, but also as a carefully calibrated space where art, architecture, and landscape exist in dialogue."
"I've done enough renovations to know they are as much work as new builds, he explains. Also, as I have become older, I have become very particular about what I like, my environment, and my architecture. I live a fairly well-edited life. I'm pretty thoughtful about things that come into my dwelling, and I decided that this was going to be a good place to show my collection on a regular basis."
Rodney Miller purchased a ranch-style property in Indianapolis where he grew up and chose a ground-up new build to realize a precise vision for displaying his art collection. The project was led by Austin firm Specht Novak with interiors by Seattle-based Lucas Interior. The modernist house balances museum-quality lighting and display with intimate, personal rooms, integrating art, architecture, and landscape. The lush site influenced the design while the clean, contemporary architecture remains rooted in its setting. Miller curated the interiors to reflect a well-edited life, creating spaces for regular display of significant works and a dedicated room for his cookbooks.
