Jerwood Gallery
Hastings, United Kingdom
Project Featured on Feb 27, 2016
HAT Projects are the architects for a £4m new gallery for the Jerwood Foundation on the seafront in Hastings. The gallery will house Jerwood's collection of modern British art, with space for temporary exhibitions linked to the Jerwood Visual Arts programme.Clad in hand-glazed black ceramic tiles which refract and reflect the changing seaside light, the gallery’s form is simple but carefully calibrated. On an urban level, it continues the rhythm of the unique neighbouring net-drying sheds, creating pockets of public realm off the street. The gallery is broadly structured with a relatively inward-looking ground floor around a small internal courtyard, and a more outward facing first floor recalling the ‘piano nobile’ arrangement of a palazzo or villa. Facing the public space, the glazing to the first floor cafe window slides back fully to form a covered balcony from which to spectate the festivals and events for which Hastings Old Town is renowned.Reflecting the character and scale of the Modern British art they will house, the internal spaces are more domestic in scale than industrial art-warehouse, although the space for temporary exhibitions tends towards the latter. The collection galleries generally have views north or east to the Old Town, or into the courtyard, and the arrangement is intended to encourage exploration through the building, discovering unexpected spaces and views, rather than a simple axial plan.
