Neue Gallery of Art – New York, NY

Description: Transformation of a 1914 Carrere & Hastings building into the Neue Galerie New York. The museum includes a diverse collection of fine and decorative arts. Equally important to both architect and client was the uncompromising restoration of historical elements despite complex but necessary and mechanical modifications. The program included a contemporary museum, a new climate-controlled HVAC system and lighting. Individual floors required significant restoration and were then adapted to accommodate the needs of a museum, café, bookstore, design shop, reception gallery space, administrative offices, a conservation laboratory and lecture hall.
