‘euroom’ by corde architetti all images courtesy corde architetti

venice-based studio corde architetti has designed ‘euroom’, a small exhibition space in the backyard of a private residence. conceived as a display box for photographic works, the rectangular volume is an abstraction of the traditional gallery space compressed down to a 35 m2 area.

arranged on a bed of rocks, the box is wrapped in a milky translucent skin which prevents views into the interior space from the outside. a small rectangular opening at the foot of the outward-facing surface gives a glimpse of the activity within. an outdoor fountain runs water into a large metal basin which creates a very shallow reflecting pond that extends to the edge of the ‘window’, resulting in a dynamic visual connection between the gallery and the garden outside.
