The competition brief called for an ‘art factory’ that could accommodate very large works of art for exhibit.

This project, adjacent to a large urban lawn consists of a series of layered skins. A solid inner shell with strategic openings on the walls and roof allows light penetration into the gallery interior and the transparent outer weatherproof shell creates a shimmering, layered glass box. At night the building glows.

The subtle play of light within the clean, uncluttered and voluminous interiors creates a series of calm, subtle spaces that provide a backdrop for the artwork, without distracting the visitor.
