Renwick Gallery Grand Salon Competition
Firm: Marlon Blackwell Architects
Location: Washington, D.C.
The design for the Grand Salon of the Renwick Gallery provides an adaptive, contemporary destination space that references its classical heritage using rich, sustainable materials. Building inside the 4,300 SF of the the Grand Salon‘s classical geometry, an array of cypress veneer ‘lanterns’ is inserted, intended to evoke the ever-changing light of tree canopies while creating refined cultural space that relates to both art and nature.
