The new gallery wings’ exterior stone cladding alternates bands of granite with bands of Georgia White marble with rough hewn granite. Designed to modulate the two very different aesthetics of the 1916 and Breuer buildings.
Indoor landscaping and daylight drawing visitors into the center of the plan. The piazza is flanked by a café, restaurant, and large retail shop that support visitors.
The historic gallery spaces were renovated using a palette of rich materials and custom colours, supporting the scale, texture and natural light flooding these spaces.
