Amazing Art Gallery Annex in South Africa

By Lavinia • January 27, 2010

If you enjoy looking at the latest design trends we figure you are also an art fan. For those of you who like visiting museums and discovering what contemporary art has to give in matter of sculpture and paintings, here is a double treat. From href="http://www.studiomas.co.za/" target="_blank">StudioMAS Architects + Urban Design, this project is an extension of the Circa Art Gallery in Rosebank, Johannesburg. The structure is independent, has three floors which are connected through spiral and a large external ramp. A large lounge is situated at the last floor, a perfect place to see some of the the best views of Johannesburg. The facade is made of aluminum fins and it provides a large quantity of natural light and also the possibility to look in and out of the building. Pretty cool place to house quality art, don’t you agree? -via href="http://www.arplus.com/?p=11511&preview=true">The Architectural Review
