With careful attention to circulation, we optimized the exhibition space, selected the lighting, and designed custom furniture to suit the needs of the gallerists. S4A S4A S4A S4A More

The owner of a contemporary art gallery and hair salon in Kyoto asked me to plan the interior of a new gallery and spa in Teramachi Nijo area. In a quiet area dotted with coffee shops and galleries and lined with many residences, one of the challenges was how to create an open space while maintaining a sense of connection with the local community. Therefore, the gallery on the first floor was not intended to be a neutral space like a white cube, but rather a space that makes use of the context of the existing Kyomachiya. Takeshi Asano Takeshi Asano Takeshi Asano First, on the first floor, only the ceiling and floor are used as pipe space, creating a contrast between old and new, symbolically surfacing the multiplicity of tim...

The gallery occupies a sequence of turn-of-the-century spaces that cut across a historic building, extending from the sidewalk to a vaulted cellar behind a shared courtyard. This layout reflects Vienna’s historic courtyard urbanism, situated in an outer district that evolved from a 19th-century wine and craft-producing village. Today, the neighborhood maintains its artisanal character, with traditional crafts and contemporary art galleries coexisting within walking distance. Julien Lanoo The gallery’s design honors this rich history while establishing a space for both ar... More
