François Ghebaly Gallery
An interior gallery precedent showcasing adaptive reuse of an industrial warehouse, pairing pristine white walls and polished concrete with rugged timber roof trusses.

- Geometry
- A clean, expansive white-walled gallery volume with a polished concrete floor and an exposed heavy-timber truss ceiling overhead.
- Structural guess
- Exposed wood truss roof framing on masonry or steel perimeter walls.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale open gallery with high ceilings capable of accommodating monumental artworks.
- Lighting
- Bright, even artificial track lighting combined with soft daylight filtering from high clerestory windows.
- Atmosphere
- Clean, luminous, and expansive with a striking contrast between raw industrial timber and refined gallery surfaces.
- Environmental context
- Interior exhibition space converted within an industrial or commercial warehouse shell.
- Spatial experience
- Wide-open floor plan offering clear uninterrupted sightlines, drawing focus to contemporary art installations and the dramatic overhead timber structure.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating rhythmic spacing of heavy timber trusses across the ceiling plane balanced by the open expanse of the floor below.
