DATES:
Start October 2009
Completion; August 2010

PROJECT SIZE:
3,400 square feet

DESCRIPTION:
One of the oldest buildings in Venice, this Edison Power transfer will become part of a new major art gallery. Long neglected and covered with graffiti we have restored the exterior and are inserting display walls on the interior along with offices. We have also provided for all new mechanical systems.
Adjacent to this existing building are the new gallery and support offices with a private showing gallery.
The new building will maintain the same architectural vocabulary of masonry walls, including reclaimed brick walls and exposed concrete slab floors. Both galleries are sensitively lit with natural light from skylights with diffusing scrim below.
