corde architetti: euroom

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.



overall view


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.
