Kasmin Gallery

1-story art gallery completed in 2018. Designed by Studio MDA, it was created a purpose-built gallery for Paul Kasmin that acts as a ‘kunsthalle’ for displaying and viewing art. The main exhibition area, designed for the display of large-scale artworks, is a column-free, 3,000-square-foot space with 22-foot-high walls and a polished concrete floor. the ceiling in this main space is a pattern of 28 trapezoidal board-formed concrete coffers, each of which houses a large skylight that provides diffused natural daylight. the new gallery also houses private viewing rooms and offices. The building is topped with a landscaped roof and sculpture garden, which sits on the rigorous skylight grid.

The facade is clad in white concrete with a wood texture, with three large facets angling gently inward toward the large glass doors and sidelights, framed in black metal, that make up the entrance in the middle.
