Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum

Description

Sage and Coombe worked with the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, Queens for more than a decade to redesign and modernize the historic museum in three phases, affording the Museum accessibility, allowing it to remain open year-round, and bringing it to the rigorous standards of contemporary Museums -- all while maintaining the unique character of the space. All areas underwent full demolition and reinvention, with construction on the final phase completed in Spring 2016.

Constructed, 1985

Renovation, 2016
