Our proposal for the Bauhaus Museum Dessau is both an exhibition space for the museum’s art collection, and an education facility. The museum is centrally located in the social green between the Dessau Cultural District and the Bauhaus and will be a focus of activity. Conceived as a single story, 3.100 m2 pavilion penetrated by courtyards with sight lines through layers of transparent walls. The visitor experience involves landscape captured within the perimeter of the building, the openness of patios and visitor zone serve to connect the institution with the park and city, providing a possibility for non ticketed visitors to view featured artworks.

PAR has been commissioned to design a home in the West Hollywood district of Los Angeles. The project involves adapting an early 20th century spanish revival structure into a family home including a guest house, terrace and pool. Our strategy embraces the character of the existing building while inserting contemporary elements that transform the space into a 2,300 sf home for exhibiting art that opens up to two private gardens. Construction is scheduled for Summer 2015.

Our proposal for the Guggenheim Museum Helsinki has won the US Embassy Special Prize in a juried exhibition at Interarch 2015, the XIV Triennial of Architecture in Sofia, Bulgaria. The building is a collection of eight soft pavilions of varying sizes and undulating heights that reflect the surroundings while creating a porous urban condition. The volumes lightly intersect with one another leading to a collection of exhibition spaces surrounded by public gardens. The resulting 12.100 m2 institution is a transparent and light building, clustered between Helsinki and the Baltic Sea. Check it out on World Architects.
