The extensive basement and vault under the road will become a further gallery and offices. Completely renovated the building will be served by new stairs and lift. A rejuvenated exterior and new entrance, the interior is being designed to complement the artist’s work. Completion is due in 2021.
ARTIST'S STUDIO SPACE: A 400 sqm private studio workspace for the artist Glenn Brown, set within a new mixed use building on the edge of the City of London, between Clerkenwell and Shoreditch. A calm coolly conceived sequence of spaces, here good quality light, both natural and artificial, was paramount, as were carefully considered and finely executed details essential to provide an appropriate setting and environment for the artist’s work. Flowing continuously over two floors, each area is defined by fixed and moveable elements sub-dividing each function; private work areas, library, gallery space for private viewings, office, bespoke kitchen and storage facilities.
