Gallery interior seen through two exposed brick arches, with white hanging walls, terrazzo floor and fluted timber counter

Overview

A gallery fit-out of a corner Victorian shopfront in Richmond. The original brick arches and walls were left exposed and paired with clean white hanging walls, freestanding display walls in the shop windows, plinths and track lighting. The centrepiece is a curved reception desk built in fluted solid timber, with a green linoleum top and an inset white panel carrying the routed gallery name.
