The Margaret Lawrence Gallery, designed by Six Degrees Architects, involved the refurbishment of an old warehouse into a working art space studio for the Victorian College of the Arts.
The Gallery is a public art space that displays contemporary art, instructing, and educating the Victorian Community.
Much of the original shed was maintained throughout the new design.
And the large open plan was celebrated to avoid the compartmentalization of this open space.
The result allows the large space to be read as an extensive open volume whilst also having enough display surfaces and zoning to be able to display multiple separate exhibitions simultaneously.
