The renovation of a shop into a gallery and jeweler’s atelier explores the idea of room within a room. Located in the ground floor of a middle scale residential building in a residential and commercial neighborhood, the store has two floors: one in the street level and the other in the underground.
Envisioned as a meeting space and gallery for exhibits featuring Pittsburgh stories throughout history, the PNC Legacy Pavilion is a landmark in Pittsburgh’s downtown Cultural District. Using just a few materials, including zinc panel, channel glass, and LED lighting, a tiny building (just 1,300 sf) transitions to a big role as a highly detailed, glowing beacon seen throughout the city.
“The great buildings have survived precisely because of their form, one which is able to accommodate different functions over time. ”

El Philips Wing supone una parte relativamente pequeña del total del Proyecto de Renovación del Nuevo Rijksmuseum. Debido a las intervenciones por fases acometidas en el pasado, obras sucesivas a cargo de distintos arquitectos a lo largo del siglo XXI, podría decirse que el Philips Wing es un modesto aunque complejo puzzle.
Overview
Located in Jiading District of Shanghai along Jinghu Highway, the project is a renovation and regeneration of a series of decommissioned industrial factories and annexes from the 1990’s. The design adopts the idea of “unglazed fragments of porcelain” to generate the formal language of the façade intervention as well as the interior spaces. Preserving the structure and the relationship with the site, the design brings a creative atmosphere and new types of programs by adding steel structures within the original industrial spaces. The large volume of enclosed and deep factory spaces is opened up by a newly inserted landscape corridor with a glass canopy to connect the front and back sides of the site, maximizing the usage of interior spaces for people and businesses.
Storefront for Art and Architecture’s narrow gallery space already takes advantage of its actively pedestrian neighborhood in SoHo, Manhattan. Its puzzle-piece-shaped facade openings (by Acconci/Holl 1993) connect this context with the gallery’s interior.
