Sylvia Kouvali Gallery

The conversion of a Mayfair mews garage into a gallery for Sylvia Kouvali. The strong material qualities of the historic tiled interior are emphasised through sparse, minimal interventions. An ad-hoc approach to the lighting enables the environment to be adjusted for each new show through direct collaboration with the exhibiting artists. The ceiling becomes a blank, enigmatic surface.
