James Cohan
52 Walker Street, 2nd floor
New York, NY
Size: 4,100 sf
Two years after we completed James Cohan’s 48 Walker Street gallery and with the Tribeca art scene continuing to grow, the gallery asked us to design a new space next door on the second floor at 52 Walker Street. In contrast to 48 Walker, the three large gallery spaces at 52 Walker maintain the original 15-foot-tall tin ceilings, while reception, offices and viewing room have new lowered ten- and twelve-foot ceilings. Six tall, street-facing windows flood the initial gallery spaces with natural light. The loft building’s original maple floors have been preserved and restored throughout. A viewing room with a 10-foot-high art storage screen system completes the program. This is the fifth gallery HS2 Architecture has designed for James Cohan.
