The Joan Mitchell Foundation (JMF) engaged LRA to design new office facilities that will inspire visitors, to actively engage the vibrant urban/riverfront view context, to provide warm/inviting, yet technologically advanced office work areas, to provide functional storage and support spaces, and to signify the Foundation?s continuing commitment to supporting artists and scholars for the advancement for painting and sculpture. The project represents a unique opportunity to tease out of this new space, office and shared spaces that work together to signify the cultural mission of, and provide a comfortable and innovative home for JMF.LRA torqued a single, program-housing, responsive container, and sliced it in two to create an entry passage for The Joan Mitchell Foundation offices. By densifying enclosed programs tight to the building core, LRA enabled the open office and conference spaces to fully engage the 270 degree urban/riverfront view.
