Project Introduction
Reading the work.
A 270 sqm community-renewal project where +- thinktank reworks an idle four-storey village house into a cultural outpost for exhibitions, salons and neighbourhood connection.
Design Concept
The project is read through its programme, spatial rhythm and the way the design turns a commercial brief into a clear experience.
Spatial Experience
The gallery focuses on proportion, light, circulation and the moments where the space meets daily use.

01 / Project Note
A wing-like rooftop beacon turns the small building into a visible neighbourhood landmark after dark.
02 / Project Note
The red facade extends into the lane, forming a flexible public edge between street and building.
03 / Project Note
Original brick, concrete and new white display walls keep the old and new layers readable inside.
