EBBA have worked on the design of a new gallery space in Central London, transforming and extending a unique building to provide additional exhibition spaces and a cafe that connects to a mews street at ground level. The project is about improving the circulation and connection to the existing gallery while introducing a series of volumes that help to add well-proportioned spaces for the display of art. A lightweight linking structure helps to connect the new and old, while the solid mass of the building responds to the piece-meal qualities at the rear of the mews.

The subtle yet bold gesture of the new interlocking structure acts as a bridge to the new spaces, connecting visually to different levels of the building. The steel language is a nod to the industrial heritage of the mews and can be seen as a reference to the working nature of this part of London.
