ENTRY/TICKETING
The entry is a piviotal decision point. the user is faced with the decision of going left or right. To go left would be to enter the production space, and right leads the user to the gallery. this central point divides the two areas while providing continuity. Materials are natural and clean, complimenting the garden.

ART USER SPACE KEY CIRCULATION
GALLERY SPACE
The gallery space aims to highlight the integrity with the use of natural materials, muted tones, and a simple venicular that nods to historic boston architecture with a modern take on brick. The gallery space has a strong connection to the building as a whole through its connection to the exterior brick and large pivot doors expanding to the terrace. The gallery also connects to the production space through the strong axis running through the central hallway.
