Monte Clark Gallery

A new commercial art gallery was carved from the shell of a derelict bulldozer paint shop in the old Finning industrial complex. The design process was more of an archaeological excavation than a traditional renovation, stripping away layers of grime to uncover and showcase the tough bones of the 1963 concrete block building. Reversing the traditional front-of-house / back-of-house art gallery typology, a massive steel and glass entry opens directly into the art storage space, where the bustle of shipping and receiving is manned by an antique staff desk.
