这30，000 SF当代艺术画廊位于西切尔西，一个以前的工业区，现在的艺术画廊，新的标志性建筑发展，和高线。该社区的工业遗产启发了建筑设计的简单性和纪念碑性，这与周围仓库建筑的严格形式相呼应。由裸露的混凝土制成，façade既粗糙又精致-具有与工业结构相呼应的坚韧感，但也具有优雅和工艺，为画廊创造了独特而精致的特性。在底层，滑动柚木店面系统允许建筑物的底座开放供艺术访问。柚木，也是用于窗框的上层，创造了一个温暖的对比，粗糙的纹理和冷色调的混凝土。

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.

这座建筑是按照博物馆的质量标准建造的，专门设计来容纳大型的房地产艺术家作品的安装和展览。在室内，画廊和陈列室空间在规模、物质性和照明方面都是多种多样的，为展示艺术提供了灵活的环境。在底层，主要的展览空间是一个扩建的5000 SF无柱画廊，有一个18英尺-6英寸的天花板。混凝土地板给这个空间带来了一种工业敏感性，还有四个朝北的锯齿形天窗。

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.

毗邻主展厅，一个更小的展览空间，它的亲密比例，石灰华地板，和半透明的路灯更加柔和。公共展览空间继续在二楼与一个非常不同的环境：2000 SF空间14‘天花板和白色橡木地板。不像天空照亮的底层，二楼画廊是自然地从旁边的一系列大窗户照明。第三层、第四层和第五层包含画廊的私人功能，如查看室、办公室、图书馆和艺术处理区域。

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 sky lit 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.

暴露的混凝土构成画廊的入口空间，以及戏剧性的，天空照亮的中庭楼梯，贯穿整个建筑的体积。板形成的纹理出现在中庭墙壁，而更微妙的楼梯运行有一个平滑的完成和一英寸的揭示。中庭楼梯对五层楼的每一层都开放，与受限的展览空间形成一个对口。

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.

这座建筑为与艺术相关的设施设置了一个新的环境标准，成为美国第一个LEED认证的商业艺术画廊。该项目以LEED Gold为目标，采用了环保意识的策略，例如五个绿色屋顶空间、优质高效的机械和照明、最大限度的采光以及当地和负责任的采购材料。

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.
