To maximize the impact of the main artwork on the 6-meter-high wall, all the windows had to be moved to the backside of the building and also one column, located on the center of the big wall, was removed.

Especially at night, framed with light gray metal plates, artwork on the wall is softly glowing with indirect lighting from the stretched ceiling.

Indirect light with dimming system and spotlights hung from rails on the ceiling support the space to be flexible in responding to the different tastes and styles of artists.
