Univ. of Southern Maine Crewe Center for the Arts

The University of Southern Maine's Crewe Center for the Arts is a 40,000-square-foot performing and fine arts facility on its Portland campus. Bringing together music, theatre and visual arts, the building provides spaces for performance, teaching, rehearsal and interdisciplinary collaboration. The architectural design draws on Maine's maritime heritage, translating references to the ocean, shipbuilding and regional forests into its structural and material expression. Tim Griffth Two interlocking volumes clad in glass, steel and colour-shifting metal panels form the building's exterior. The panels change appearance under different lighting conditions, creating a façade that references the movement and changing colours of coasta... More

The Lost Cities Series

Imagine a bustling metropolis where the value of trees surpasses that of land, home to a society that grants equal rights to all genders; where the air is filled with a multitude of foreign languages spoken by travellers from far-flung corners of the globe, where wealth is cultivated through the pursuit of knowledge rather than the accumulation of material possessions. The beating heart of the Kampong is a grand marketplace teeming with exquisite treasures from Japan, China, India, Burma, the Arabian Gulf and Venice.  Minto Studios Minto Studios Curated by The Oval Partnership and a team of multidisciplinary artists, the Lost Cities Exhibition immerses you in a reimagining of Kampong Cities of 14th-century Southeast Asia.

Jiangxin Island Art Hotel

Situated on the historically rich Jiangxin Island in Wenzhou, this project presents a unique challenge: how to design an art hotel that respects the island’s natural beauty and cultural significance while shaping a vision for its future. Jiangxin Island, a beacon of maritime trade for over a thousand years, is also the birthplace of more than 800 Chinese poems. These legacies—both natural and cultural—demand a thoughtful response in the design of the hotel, balancing preservation with innovation. Unlike conventional hotel models, this design seeks to integrate the built form with the island’s landscape. The architecture consists of a series of small, sculptural volumes that blend into the nat... More

The Tendril Gallery

Flexible mould technology & precision engineered hempcrete bricks forms the structure of this Hempcrete coiled wall.  Four meter high glass windows weave between the forms 12 arches opening out onto a 360 degrees terraced area.

The gallery sits on an island accessed by a path that connects the architecture to the main land.  Caption Caption Hempcrete is a mix of hemp hurds, water, and powdered lime mixed together to be formed into a wall and over time, the chemical reactions...

Oever gallery

Oever Gallery, situated in Ostend, draws its name from the Dutch word for 'shore' or 'bank.' The gallery finds its roots deeply intertwined with the graffiti, street, and urban art culture that defines the city, serving as the foundation of the interior design concept. SKINN BRANDING AGENCY SKINN BRANDING AGENCY The project embodies a creative reversal, a reinterpretation of the conventional canvas of a street artist—the urban landscape—rendered with a refined, minimalist touch within the gallery's confines. The outcome is a stripped-down representation that captures the essence of the concrete jungle.

the mill at the edge of the forest

The old mill building dates back to 1914 and has been adapted several times before. It is located at the transition from meadow to forest in a ditch next to a stream. The existing building was not sufficiently lit and the connection to the surroundings was not established. Martin Konzett Our approach was to strengthen and reorganize the existing rooms with careful interventions. It was essential to formulate the new interventions clearly legible and not to hide the static supports of the existing building. The character of the existing is strengthened by the contrast with the new. The scenic surroundings, the threshold between forest and hill country, can also be experienced. Martin Konzett The studio of the sculptor Caroline Go... More

Distillery of Modern Art

The Distillery of Modern Art started as a warehouse, and Vickers Design Group converted it into a distillery, tasting room, art gallery, and event space. Jason Buch Photography Copper is used to accent the space and unite the different areas of the building. The distillery portion is a square rotated 45 degrees, so it breaks the grid and becomes a feature element no matter where you stand in the tasting bar or event space. As the heart of the business, the still is visible from almost every space, and you feel as if you are right inside the distillery. A copper corrugated screen transforms the building envelope to modernize the space and create the appearance of a whole new building. Careful attention was given to understand the exper... More

Wuhan Huashan White Stones Art Museum

The symbiotic relationship between nature and space is the focus of thought when designing. Wuhan White Stones Art Gallery, inspired by the original stone shape, with white and gray as the basic color, visually dilutes the spatial boundary between the building and landscape. dasso Group Within the sculptural facade is a warm, quiet interior space, where geometric elements and natural light bring more layers to the building. The use of raw bamboo, cotton and linen, and plain concrete materials in the interior is compatible with the natural elements outside, creating a natural, warm, and vibrant space atmosphere. Through the opening treatment, light and shadow, breeze and greenery are skillfully introduced, blurring the boundary between... More

Art Gallery

The natural wood flooring is one of the most popular choices for making an atmosphere more elegant and comfortable. This material is also suitable for the raised access floor system. In this way, it is possible to combine the utility of the access floor with the charm of the natural wood. This is the case of an Art Gallery in London, where the designer was looking for a cozy style, while at the same time considering the necessity of hiding all the cables for technical systems that were laying on the ground. Newfloor Srl For the project Newfloor supplied about 900 sqm of raised access floor type T38HAP: 38 mm thick chipboard panels with density 720 kg/m3, aluminium foil on the bottom side and, as top covering, varnished natural wood o...

Canada Gallery

Nineteen years after opening their first exhibition space, in New York City on Broadway along the edge of Tribeca, Canada gallery relocated their most recent Lower Eastside operation to 60 Lispenard Street. The new gallery address in Tribeca is integral to a renewed Soho/Tribeca gallery scene.   Canada Gallery presents a dignified context for art, but with a humane interface for the audience. In response to this ethos the design of the Lispenard space creates generous spaces for viewing and working with art. The gallery operates on the ground floor and in the basement of a landmarked industrial building converted to rent-controlled loft apartments in the 1970s. On the sidewalk level, the sequence of the program starts with the galler... More
