There’s a reason that art galleries are usually designed as “white boxes”; while the neutral backdrop allows the artworks to be presented without distractions, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to be bland and uninspiring. Case in point,

drew inspiration from the city’s vibrant street art scene – an annual arts festival that has been attracting famous street artists from around the world since 2016 has turned Ostend into an open-air gallery – designing a minimalist, monochrome grey-toned space that is nevertheless both welcoming and enticing thanks to an interplay of contrasting textures that echo the city’s urban fabric. Surprising pops of colour and a modular display system of sculptural playfulness further enhance the gallery’s subversive appeal while a coffee shop and concept store seamlessly incorporated in the open-plan space offer yet more reasons to step inside.

艺术画廊通常被设计成“白盒子”是有原因的。虽然中性背景可以让艺术品不受干扰地展示，但这并不一定意味着它们必须平淡无奇。举个例子， 奥弗画廊  如室网作品分享 禁止转载商用

比利时设计工作室 从这座城市充满活力的街头艺术场景中汲取灵感——自 2016 年以来，每年一度的艺术节吸引了来自世界各地的著名街头艺术家，将奥斯坦德变成了一个露天画廊——设计了一个极简主义的单色灰色空间，但两者兼具由于与城市肌理相呼应的对比纹理的相互作用，欢迎和诱人。令人惊讶的流行色彩和雕塑趣味的模块化展示系统进一步增强了画廊的颠覆性吸引力，而咖啡店和概念店无缝融入开放式空间，为走进画廊提供了更多理由。如室网作品分享 禁止转载商用

Named after the Dutch word for shore due to its waterfront location, 5AM conceived the gallery space as a minimal, stripped-down version of the street artist’s canvas, namely the urban environment, hence the prominent use of raw concrete and grainy stucco, the combination of smooth and rough textures, and the mirror and brushed aluminium accents. A monochrome palette of grey hues that echoes Ostend’s predominant colour further enhances the urban concept and imbues the gallery with a calming ambience while splashes of aquamarine blue in the toilet and the iconic Bold chairs by Swiss design studio for French brand       Work sharing on RUSHI platform was prohibited from being reposted for business

offer vibrant visual jolts. A freestanding display system made up of different sized glossy rounded volumes offers flexibility and convenience, as well as playfully reinforces the urban jungle theme. As 5AM designer Amber Feijen says, “functionality can and should be beautiful”.    Work sharing on RUSHI platform was prohibited from being reposted for business

由于其海滨位置，以荷兰语中的海岸一词命名，5AM 将画廊空间设想为街头艺术家画布的最小化、精简版，即城市环境，因此突出使用生混凝土和粒状灰泥，组合光滑和粗糙的纹理，以及镜子和拉丝铝口音。室网作品分享 禁止转载商用

与奥斯坦德的主色调相呼应的单色灰色调进一步增强了城市概念，并为画廊注入了一种平静的氛围，而马桶和瑞士设计工作室标志性的 Bold 椅子上则点缀着海蓝宝石蓝 对于法国品牌 提供充满活力的视觉冲击。室网作品分享 禁止转载商用

由不同大小的光滑圆形体块组成的独立式展示系统提供了灵活性和便利性，同时也巧妙地强化了城市丛林主题。正如 5AM 设计师 Amber Feijen 所说，“功能可以而且应该很漂亮”。室网作品分享 禁止转载商用
