New York | 2011

Located in densely populated gallery neighborhood of Chelsea in Manhattan, Kasmin Gallery is a renovation project that seeks to create a clean, open room that is drawn to the street via a large storefront system. Is creates an atmosphere, which maximizes the focus on the art in a setting that seamlessly connects the interior and the exterior. The gallery features a floor to ceiling glass facade seamlessly creating a visually connection between the visitors and the inside environment, while allowing large pieces of art to be delivered.

The interior benefits from a skylight. It provides the room and artwork with perfect lighting for viewing, The facade has two defined attributes, the storefront glazing system and a full height aluminum facade which functions as a continuous loading dock. while the perforated gate provides security, the open design allows art to be showcased even when the gallery is closed.
