Chamber is a design gallery, event space, and store located on the High Line in New York.
The main design element is the carved-out ceiling made from a series of forty-eight vaults that tightly fit around and between the existing infrastructure to capture as much space for the interior as possible.
The complex composition of the vaults was the result of existing conditions and code requirements. The vaults softly reflect natural and artificial light into the space.
The floor is left untouched for exhibition purposes. The store is a collection of various elements not attempting synthetic resolution—custom cabinetry, desks, and displays were fabricated in aluminum.
