Schaulager

Built for a private art foundation, the building is neither a museum nor a conventional warehouse, but an open store where works are kept in conditions suited to their care and remain accessible to specialists, with spaces for exhibitions.

Its massive walls are cast in concrete mixed with gravel excavated on site, then worked to leave a rough, earthy surface. A small house-shaped lodge marks the entrance in a recessed forecourt, and inside, a tall hall rises through the storage floors.
