PAR has been commissioned to design a home in the West Hollywood district of Los Angeles. The project involves adapting an early 20th century spanish revival structure into a family home including a guest house, terrace and pool. Our strategy embraces the character of the existing building while inserting contemporary elements that transform the space into a 2,300 sf home for exhibiting art that opens up to two private gardens. Construction is scheduled for Summer 2015.

In Helsinki, we developed together with ARUP, a gathering of eight soft volumes of varying sizes and undulating heights that reflect the surroundings while creating a porous urban condition. The volumes lightly intersect with one another leading to a collection of exhibition spaces surrounded by public gardens. The resulting 12.100 m2 institution is a transparent and light building, clustered between the city and the water, immediately visible to visitors arriving by sea. Check out our proposal on World Architects.

For IBID. Gallery in Los Angeles, PAR developed a plan for the international gallery to expand into the historic urban fabric of the Los Angeles Arts District, a lowrise area in the eastern part of the city. The project involved transforming an abandoned garage warehouse and large courtyard into a 12,000 sf exhibition and event outpost. Working closely with our client, we were able to preserve the original aura of the structure while at the same time, create a new spatial quality for the gallery. The gallery opened with a painting exhibition by Christian Rosa earlier this Fall.

Our collaboration with IBID. continued in London where we designed their new location in Marylebone. The project involved adapting an early 20th century townhouse into a flexible 300 sm gallery. Our strategy embraced the historical character of the existing building while inserting contemporary elements that transform the space into two main exhibition spaces. The gallery opened with a group show in conjunction with the London Frieze Art Fair in October 2014.
