AxD Gallery + Studio
AXD GALLERY + STUDIO
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.
This project was shared by AxD, who reached us through our contact form.
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.
