The design of this project necessitated distinctive facade solutions in a contemporary architectural context. The opaque facade elements are composed of limestone from Israel, featuring variable metal reveals punctured with high-performance wood windows. The large non-gallery public space features a large light bar of transparent and semi-transparent glass that defuses direct light. The lobby areas showcase multi-layered glass walls, stone cladding and high span glass enclosure for pre-function areas.
