Dow Jones Architects renovated the Garden Museum housed in the old church of St. Mary at Lambeth, London.
While the historic structure remains untouched, the museum welcome visitors to a newly designed interior with a sequence of individual spaces for exhibitions, the permanent collection, education, café and shop.
The architect projected a free standing timber structure that fits into the existing church like an unexpected modernist puzzle box. The colors of the wood match the stone walls, camouflaging the just-arrived nature of the construction.
