（The David Zwirner 20th New York Gallery ）
- The new gallery facade is board-formed-concrete(material), and with rows of teak-framed windows set just a few inches,could let the sun light through in, this building give people a feeling of in nature. The wall color is stained wood(teak wood) and quite environment protecting.
- Teak, which is also used for the window frames on upper floors, creates a warm contrast to the texture and cool tones of the concrete.
- This is an image of the different layers.
- This is an image of ground floor.
- This is an image of third floor.
- This is entrance of gallery. On the ground floor, a sliding teak storefront system allows the base of the building to open for art access.
- On the ground floor, the main exhibition space is an expansive gallery with high ceiling. Concrete floors bring an industrial sensibility to the space, along with four north-facing sky lights.
- Windows help connect a variety of spaces, including an intimate second-floor gallery.
- The walls surrounding the building’s stair are made of the same board-formed concrete of the facade. The depth of each concrete steps is only 3 inches, very thin.
- Public exhibition space continues on the second floor with a very different environment: a 2,000 sf space with 14' ceilings and white oak floors. Unlike the sky lit ground floor, second floor galleries are lit naturally from the side by a series of large windows.
- Levels three, four, and five contain the gallery's private functions such as viewing rooms, offices, a library, and art handling areas.
