PACE GALLERY in New York by HS2 ARCHITECTURE

Article source: HS2 ARCHITECTURE 

Pace Gallery’s 510 West 25th Street property is a one-story 4,000 sf conversion of a derelict automotive garage into a sleek, minimal art gallery. With twenty-foot ceilings and four new skylights, HS2/Bill Katz Studios created a large exhibition space with plentiful but controlled diffuse daylight. The complete renovation involved all new infrastructure, mechanical, electrical, lighting and fire protection.

Upon moving in, Pace purchased 508 West 25th Street directly next door to double its size. The property, constrained by The High Line above, pushed HS2/Bill Katz Studios to create a structural solution comprised of very shallow steel members to maximize the ceiling height. The addition of skylights running the length of the east and west party walls allow natural light to flood into the galleries despite the hovering presence of the park above.

A 10’ x 10’ opening connects the gallery buildings and allows for a flexible exhibition program. The interior is outfitted with custom workstations and carefully selected furniture to complement the minimalist aesthetic.

Pace Gallery’s other international locations are designed by prestigious architects including David Chipperfield and Gluckman Mayner Architects.
