I think a Bertoia would go better with International style than a Calder. Maybe a couple of Sonambient sculptures in the corners. More rectilinear, and much more useful for hanging coats off of.

I have nothing to add except to ask if you need a house boy to live in your guest house with access to your closet, since I think we're close to the same size. Thanks.

Do you have a separate unit for shoes?

It's difficult to get a feel for the room from the renderings you've posted

Permanently mounted DSLR camera with image posting Macro for WAYWN shots. Get a painting of the tower for the background.

My advice is to start a thread showing off how rich you are. You'll find it never fails to get the pavlovian bitches drooling.

UV filters or whatever on the windows and skylight to prevent sun fading? I suppose it probably goes without saying, but I said it anyway.

I'm rather stunned by the fact that you won't have enough room for all clothes, that you still have to move seasonal to the basement.

You will have to send us the wardrobe pics when it's finished.

Need to know how you store your suits, jackets & trousers as in do you hang the trousers form the cuff on one hanger, separately on its own hanger or over the hanger bar? Do you hang shirts in here or are they folded? Do you want to hang ties in the open or store them?
D is the only area with enough length to hang trousers or topcoats if you want topcoats in this room at all. Makes sense to keep topcoats elsewhere. Why take them up stairs if you don't have to.
Need to calculate the spacing needed and what the capacity will be. Recently helped a client with this, he had the room built to hold 120 suits plus shirts, shoes, sweaters, plus an area for an iron and pressing board for touch ups. I'll check on some of the small details that worked well.
Some clients use a center island to hold shoes and sweaters, but it kills the open flow in the room. Having glass doors reduces usable space.

Poliform takes forever to get and can be made by a craftsman.
