This isn't just a gallery, but an architectural studio.

This refurbishment of an old building exposes the original brick work, which mixed with wood results on a very warm interior space, contrasting with the white walls of the gallery.

BRIEF

Renovation of an urban storefront and warehouse to accommodate dual program of a contemporary art gallery and architectural studio.

PROGRAM

An emerging architectural firm used the need for additional space as a catalyst for creating a street front gallery for contemporary visual art as part of their relocation.

COHABITATION

The uniqueness of the site appealed to the design team, a zig-zag merging of three parcels; encompassing a live-above store front, a former liquor warehouse and a service yard.

Not only did this permit separate front and service entrances, but allowed a natural coexistence of the gallery and studio without doors.
