Hauser & Wirth 69th Street
New York, NY
This new 8,800 sf townhouse in a landmark district contains a gallery for contemporary art. The façade is comprised of unfinished cement stucco juxtaposed with limestone trim at the doors and windows. Double-height windows and bronze railings accentuate the building’s verticality.
The large storefront windows at the ground level welcome passersby and open seamlessly to provide a loading entrance for larger scale works of art. The interior contains perfectly proportioned flexible galleries. Daylight is provided via windows and an open stair topped with a skylight.
