这座位于西切尔西的当代艺术画廊占地30,000平方英尺，位于一个曾经是工业区的社区，现在成为艺术画廊、新的标志性建筑和海线的家园。该社区的工业遗产激发了建筑设计的简约和庄重，呼应了周围仓库建筑的简洁形式。立面采用裸露的混凝土制成，既粗糙又精致——具有与工业结构共鸣的粗糙感，同时又具有优雅和精湛的工艺，为画廊创造了独特而精致的身份认同。在地面层，一个滑动的柚木店面系统可以打开建筑的底部，以便艺术品进入。柚木还用于上层的窗框，与混凝土的粗糙质地和冷色调形成温暖的对比。
建筑按照博物馆的标准建造，专门设计用于展示大型装置和遗产艺术家作品的展览。内部，画廊和展厅空间在规模、材质和照明方面多样化，为艺术品展示提供了灵活的环境范围。在地面层，主要展览空间是一个宽敞的5,000平方英尺的无柱画廊，拥有18'6"的天花板。混凝土地板为空间带来了工业感，同时还有四个朝北的锯齿形天窗。毗邻主画廊的是一个较小的展览空间，由于其亲密的比例、石灰岩地板和半透明的照明板，显得更加低调。公共展览空间在二楼延续，但环境却截然不同：一个2,000平方英尺的空间，14英尺高的天花板和白橡木地板。与采光良好的地面层不同，二楼画廊通过一系列大窗户侧面自然照明。三、四、五层包含了画廊的私人功能，如观展室、办公室、图书馆和艺术处理区。
暴露的混凝土形成了画廊的入口空间，以及穿透整个建筑体积的戏剧性、采光良好的中庭楼梯。露板的纹理出现在中庭墙壁上，而更精致的楼梯台阶表面则采用光滑的表面和一英寸的凹槽。中庭楼梯开放到每个楼层，与局促的展览空间形成对比。
该建筑将环境标准提升到了一个新的水平，成为美国第一个获得LEED认证的商业艺术画廊。该项目的LEED Gold目标包括五个绿色屋顶空间、高效机械和照明设备、最大化采光以及当地和负责任的材料来源等环保策略。
This 30,000 sf gallery for contemporary art is located in West Chelsea, a former industrial neighborhood now home to art galleries, new iconic architectural developments, and the High Line. The neighborhood’s industrial heritage inspired the simplicity and monumentality of the building’s design which echoes the disciplined forms of surrounding warehouse buildings. Made from exposed concrete, the façade is both rough and refined—having the grittiness to resonate with industrial structures but also the elegance and craftsmanship to create a unique and refined identity for the gallery. On the ground floor, a sliding teak storefront system allows the base of the building to open for art access. Teak, which is also used for the window frames on upper floors, creates a warm contrast to the rough texture and cool tones of the concrete.
Built to museum-quality standards, the building is specifically designed to accommodate large installations and exhibitions of works by estate artists. Inside, gallery and showroom spaces are diverse in their scale, materiality, and lighting, offering a flexible range of environments for the display of art. On the ground floor, the main exhibition space is an expansive 5,000 sf column-free gallery with an 18’-6” ceiling. Concrete floors bring an industrial sensibility to the space, along with four north-facing sawtooth skylights. Adjacent to the main gallery, a smaller exhibition space is more subdued with its intimate proportions, travertine floor, and a semi-transparent laylight. Public exhibition space continues on the second floor with a very different environment: a 2,000 sf space with 14’ ceilings and white oak floors. Unlike the skylit ground floor, second floor galleries are lit naturally from the side by a series of large windows. Levels three, four, and five contain the gallery’s private functions such as viewing rooms, offices, a library, and art handling areas.
Exposed concrete forms the gallery’s entry spaces as well as the dramatic, sky lit atrium stair which penetrates the entire volume of the building. The board-formed texture appears on atrium walls, while the more delicate stair runs have a smooth finish and one-inch reveal. Open to each of the five floors, the atrium stair creates a counterpoint to the restrained exhibition spaces.
The building sets a new environmental standard for art-related facilities as the first LEED certified commercial art gallery in the U.S. With a target of LEED Gold, the project incorporates environmentally-conscious strategies such as five green roof spaces, premium efficiency mechanical and lighting, maximized daylighting, and locally and responsibly sourced materials.
