A flagship gallery in board-formed concrete, lit only from a continuous clerestory.
A room for objects, kept deliberately empty of everything else.
The gallery is a single concrete volume. A clerestory runs its full perimeter, washing the walls with even daylight and dissolving the line between wall and ceiling.
Board-formed concrete carries the grain of its timber moulds, giving the bare surfaces a quiet warmth.
