这座建筑设计成一座堆叠的木结构，散装在街道上方，由七层公共建筑组成，提供一系列独特大小的画廊。挫折和悬垂直接反应的背景，框架的城市和北岸山脉的看法，同时允许光线过滤到露天庭院下面。

Designed as a stacked wooden structure whose bulk is lifted high above the street, the building is comprised of seven public levels that offer a range of uniquely sized galleries. Setbacks and overhangs respond directly to the context, framing views of the city and North Shore Mountains, while allowing light to filter down to the open-air courtyard below. 

雅克·赫尔佐格说：“城市概念的基础是街道街区的低层框架与开阔、可到达的花园和广场中间的更高、更高的雕塑建筑之间的对比。”“这条街的低矮木质建筑是受温哥华早期街道建造方式的启发。这种温和的、几乎是国内的规模，将提高每个人的开放性和可见度。“

“The urbanistic concept is based on the contrast between the low-rise framing along the street block and the taller and more sculptural building in the middle of an open and accessible garden and square,” said Jacques Herzog. “The low-rise wooden building along the street is inspired by how the streets in Vancouver were built in earlier times. The modest, almost domestic scale will enhance the character of openness and visibility for everyone.”

除了85，000平方英尺的展览空间(将使画廊目前的面积翻倍以上)外，这座建筑还将包括一个新的教育中心、350个座位的礼堂、工作坊、研究中心、图书馆服务和艺术家档案馆。两个级别较低的级别将提供存储和停车服务。

Beyond the 85,000-square-feet of exhibition space, which will more than double the Gallery's current size, the building will include a new education centre, 350-seat auditorium, workshops, research center, library services and artist archives. Two below-grade levels will offer storage and parking.

该画廊在一份新闻稿中说：“画廊将低元素和高元素结合在一起，创造了一种让街道活跃起来的亲密的人类尺度，同时还采用了一种大胆的、垂直的、坚实的雕塑形式，有力地肯定了画廊在城市景观中的存在。”“较低的层次大部分是透明的，使画廊的许多活动可见，而上层，主要是展览空间，是更坚实和不透明的。

"[The Gallery] combines low and high elements to create an intimate human scale that activates the street level, while embracing a bold verticality and solid sculptural form that strongly affirm the presence of the Gallery within the cityscape," said the Gallery in a press release. "The lower levels are mostly transparent, making many of the Gallery’s activities visible, while the upper levels, which primarily house exhibition spaces, are more solid and op

“通过将建筑物的大部分提升到街道上方，这种设计可以让光线和空气过滤到下面一个活跃的露天庭院。”这座建筑包括一层楼高的建筑，构成庭院和免费展览空间的框架，还有一家咖啡馆、商店和一个研究、图书馆服务和艺术家档案资源中心。这个占地四万平方英尺的露天庭院每天都会被博物馆观众和邻里的行人所环绕，这里将举办艺术设施、表演、音乐会、电影放映以及与其他文化组织的合作项目。

"By lifting the bulk of the structure high above the street, the design allows light and air to filter down to an active, open-air courtyard below. The building includes a one-story structure on the ground level that frames the courtyard and houses free exhibition space as well as a café, store, and a resource centre for research, library services and artist archives. The expansive 40,000-square-foot, open-air courtyard, which will be crisscrossed daily by museum-goers and neighborhood pedestrians, will host art installations, performances, concerts, film screenings, and collaborative programs with other cultural organizations.

“建筑师们的意图是使用木材建造这座建筑。这种材料是可持续的，唤起了该地区的建筑史，包括20世纪初环绕拉威尔公园的两层木排房屋。不列颠哥伦比亚省是建造大型木结构建筑的最前沿，因此是建造这种材料的理想场所。”

"The architects’ intent is to use wood for the building. The material is sustainable and evokes the architectural history of the region, including the two-storey wooden row houses that surrounded Larwill Park in the early twentieth century. British Columbia is at the forefront of constructing large wood buildings, making it an ideal place for a building of this material."
