Art Museums and Galleries

Research | Site Analysis | Concept Design | Proposal & Competition Documentation
Located in Denver, Colorado, the Still Museum is one of the foremost single-artist institutions in the world. The building is a 27,500 sq ft collection of galleries, conservation spaces, and archives.
Securing the commission and developing the concept required extensive research into the life and philosophy of the artist, the cities and landscapes in which Still lived, and their influence on his body of work. These insights were folded into the design process and shared with the clients through presentation books, concept models, and other visualizations required for the international design competition.
Upon completion, new work was undertaken to document the building, its material expression, and synthesis of space, light, and art that make the viewing experience extraordinary. These were compiled into a book of images and essays.

Located in Seattle, Washington in the Pioneer Square historic and gallery district, the Occidental Fine Art Center offers a 4,000 sq.ft. gallery featuring fine art realism. The building was acquired by an art philanthropist after the historic building was damaged by fire. Our team renovated the gallery leveraging our experience as gallerists and curators. We focused on providing open spaces, concealing mechanical equipment, and restoring the historical character of the building. Our team has also been asked to curate exhibitions that call upon our expertise in this genre.
