Louise Blouin Foundation
London
The award winning Louise Blouin Foundation is housed in former coachworks. Elevations have been made more pure and balanced. New dynamic rooms each have their own individual feel. The ground floor has been transformed into a column free exhibition space. A triple
height entrance lobby has been formed. An existing roof skylight on the second floor has been replaced with two new translucent skylights. Two installations by artist James Turrell illuminate the building at night, creating an iconic form on the London skyline.
"The building has been universally and enthusiastically praised by visitors of all ages, artists, journalists, curators, local residents and the staff who work here.”
Jeremy Newton, Foundation Director
