Albright-Knox Art Gallery Shop

*HHL Architects designed the new retail space for the sale of art books, quality art reproductions and other art related items located in one of the Nation's leading art galleries. Several locations in the building were studied. A small awkward shaped, basement location in the original historic 1905 portion of the gallery was selected.

The challenge was to double the original, while still making it open and enticing to patrons. The arc design draws the customer from a central circulation point of the lower gallery, right into the heart of the new gift shop. Feature lighting, combined with white walls and black ceilings, help to feature the unique products available at the store.
