BMG Gallery and Residence

Traditional Territory: Kaurna Country

Situated in Adelaide’s western precinct, the North Street Gallery and Residence establishes an architectural rhythm to a dilapidated streetscape of open carparks, workshops and warehouses.

The design reflects the concept of modern inner city living, addressing issues of privacy, security and flexibility.

The sharp red box sits proudly in the streetscape with its durable walls built hard against the site boundaries.  The façade is articulated by a deck overlooking the galleries sculpture court, puncturing the façade and cantilevering over the footpath below.

The complete separation of the residence and the gallery allows the two functions to co-exist without overlap.
