画廊位于索霍和牛津街之间的十字路口。通过牛津街的连续店面，街角可以一目了然。拉米利斯街(RamilliesStreet)走下一小段台阶，在伦敦生活的背后形成了一个更加安静的世界，一条带有仓库和后台送货门的车道。

The Gallery is located at a crossroads, between Soho and Oxford Street. The corner site is visible in a glimpse view through the continuous shop frontage of Oxford Street. Ramillies Street is approached down a short fight of steps, leading to a quieter world behind the scenes of London life, a laneway with warehouses and backstage delivery doors.

砖-仓库钢框架结构的扩展，以尽量减少增加对现有结构和基础的负荷。这个大容量容纳了很大的画廊空间。一个密闭的控制廊位于现有建筑物的结构内。

The brick-warehouse steel-frame building is extended to minimise the increase in load on the existing structure and foundations. This extended volume houses large gallery spaces. A close control gallery is located within the fabric of the existing building.

轻量级延伸被覆盖在一个黑暗呈现的表面，从现有的砖块表面向前迈进。街道前的咖啡馆是用黑色抛光水磨石完成的。未经处理的硬木木结构元件详细地滑动到与渲染表面平齐的壁厚中。硬木屏风和新的开口的组成和细节给外观赋予了一个精心制作的特征。

The lightweight extension is clad in a dark rendered surface that steps forward from the face of the existing brickwork. The street front café is finished with black polished terrazzo. Untreated hardwood timber framed elements are detailed to slide into the wall thickness flush with the rendered surface. The composition and detail of the hardwood screens and new openings give a crafted character to the façade.

一楼的门面被深深地划破，露出了咖啡店。一楼的楼板被剪了下来，通向地下室的书店。一个面向东的图片窗口和北光潜望镜窗口的城市天际线，以回应具体的特点的网站。

A deep cut in the ground floor façade was made to reveal the café. The ground floor slab was cut out to lead down to the basement bookshop. An east-facing picture window and the north-light periscope window to the city skyline were added in response to the specific character of the site.
