Annabelle Selldorf designs with a sense of understated elegance. Her designs are simple and luxurious. She has designed many galleries and museums, often renovating old factories and warehouses, transforming them into gracious spaces full of art and design. When renovating a decades or even centuries old building, she designs to incorporate the old and the new seamlessly. We want to highlight three of our favorite spaces she has recently completed.
The Neue Galerie New York: Museum for German and Austrian Art. Selldorf Architects updated and transformed this 1914 building to create the Neue Galerie.

Selldorf Architects converted this 13th century factory into “The Encyclopedic Palace.” It served as the centerpiece of the 2013 art biennial in Venice.

The design highlights the 800 brick columns and makes them seem like a part of the art. The sculpture is “Belinda” by Roberto Cuoghi from the Lehman Maupin gallery.

This former banking hall turned gallery still retains the grandeur it had when it was built in the 1923. It is the new home of Hauser & Wirth in London.

The new elements blend with the old to create a harmonious design at Hauser & Wirth Piccadilly in London. The hanging sculpture is Louise Bourgeois’ “Untitled” from the Sublimation series.
