Gallery Bir Zamanlar
The permanent exhibition and archive space within Gallery Bir Zamanlar was designed to accommodate long-term display and storage of printed materials, documents, and three-dimensional objects.Drawer units integrated along the exhibition walls house the permanent archive, while the central display elements can be retracted to allow the space to function as a seminar and lecture area.

Vistamare Gallery
When the owners of Vistamare Gallery approached us for their second Milan location, we were excited to help organize and maximize the space’s efficiency for both temporary and permanent artists. We preserved many of the existing historic elements, including the expansive skylight in the central gallery. With careful attention to circulation, we optimized the exhibition space, selected the lighting, and designed custom furniture to suit the needs of the gallerists.

The Sky Light Gallery was designed by Beijing-based People’s Architecture Office. Located in TANKO Park in Beijing’s Mentougou District, the structure is made up of a series of white geometric forms.

10 elegant galleries prizing architecture and art
In the contemporary art galleries featured here, the architecture is as much the protagonist as the art itself. A mixture of styles, these elegant galleries are examples of a more personable type of art space: smaller than the huge galleries found in many capitals, they are places for those who are curious about art and the architecture in which it is housed.

The Nicholson Galleries
The Nicholson Galleries are the new home for the University of Sydney’s extensive collection of ancient Egyptian, Greek and Italian antiquities, within the university’s new purpose-built Chau Chak Wing Museum. The six exhibition spaces across Level 2 create an atmospheric experience that brings the stories of these ancient cultures to the public through techniques of light, colour, volume and texture.
