Beyond, the building opens up to the main gallery, measuring 28 feet by 57 feet, its 18-foot ceiling punctuated by three large north-facing skylights.
The firm designed a glazed white brick volume on a corrugated metal base, with a sidepiece of custom concrete block.
The building is set asymmetrically next to the High Line, and was the first building built in accordance with that area’s new zoning, put in place as the park was being conceived.
The gallery has offices, storage, and several distinct exhibition spaces, including project rooms and an expansive room to the north that is daylit by skylights.
The gallery’s interior spaces are arranged in sequence to create a rich experience of discovery.
From the entrance, a generous entry hall leads past the reception area and private viewing room to the first gallery.
