This East Austin gallery is both an exhibition space and a home to its curators. At the street front, the façade of the1150 square foot 100 year-old home is relatively unchanged and matches the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Inside, the intersections of old and new construction, public and private zones, and art and life create a layered experience that pushes the suburban form towards a more urban typology. When the gallery is not in use, the living room and dining room spill out into the public spaces. Large pocket doors close off the private spaces during gallery hours to divide the home from the exhibition space. During gallery openings, only one of the panels is used to block access, but allow the bar area to be accessed from the gallery for serving. An additional serving area is located between the courtyard and kitchen.
A pecan tree at the heart of the site informs the footprint of the 900 square foot addition. The gallery wraps around the resulting courtyard and main gallery entrance creating a welcoming community space. Vestiges of the historic home punctuate the contemporary interior and remind visitors of the intrinsic value of the old materials. Salvaged long leaf pine used on floors and walls brings warmth to the entry and is repeated at the courtyard soffit of the new volume.
