OMA has completed Lehmann Maupin Gallery’s new exhibition space in Hong Kong, following on from the practice’s designs for their New York gallery. Located within one of the few surviving pre-war structure in the centre of the city’s busy financial district, the gallery preserves rather than conceals the history of the building. The gallery is divided into two exhibition spaces, with newly constructed white walls encircling existing columns and overhead beams. The second space for smaller exhibitions and private views adjoins the larger main space, and features polished concrete floors and plywood storage units.
