HHEAL CONCEPT
HHEAL WORK
This new eco friendly gallery space was
generated by the owner's interest in showing
work that tells a story. The art products
were created within their localities: for
example woven mittens shown in the gallery
are woven in the same place that the sheep
are sheered and cared for; one of a kind hand
bags are sewn by local seamstresses.
The new
design included extensive rehabilitation of a
historic commercial using environmentally
intelligent strategies and code upgrades to
increase the building valuation. The spacial
concept organized the linear gallery into three
metaphors for nature: Field, Garden, and Grove.
These feature spaces relate to lighting, density,
color selection, and circulation patterns.
• Energy saving lighting
• Wood material recycling
• Celebration of historical restoration
• Natural light maximization
