Urbika added this project

The sperone westwater gallery is a well-established new york art dealer. the dealer will move from their current home to a newly designed building in the bowery neighbourhood. the new structure is designed by norman foster and sits only steps away from the recently completed new museum by SANAA. Their new home will feature nine stories, five of which are exhibition space. one of the new building’s key features is a moving gallery which gradually moves between the first five floors and is visible from the street. The moving gallery can also be locked on one floor to extend its space for exhibitions.

The nine-story museum will include flexible exhibition spaces and a dynamic moving gallery. This 12-20 foot moving room is an “innovative approach to vertical movement within a gallery building” as it connects the five floors where the works of art will be displayed, allowing visitors to gradually move between levels. Visible from the street, the platform can also be locked on one floor to extend its space for exhibitions. The architects’ note the contrast between the slow pace of the platform with the fast-paced traffic of the street.

The museum also includes a sculpture terrace toward the park and a private viewing gallery at the top of the public floors. The top floor houses a library which doubles as an event space for different functions.
