Interior of a gallery or showroom by Leong Leong with exposed timber
An interior precedent by Leong Leong demonstrating the insertion of crisp white minimalist partitions and display counters into an industrial shell with exposed timber trusses.
- What we like about this project
- The contrast between the rough, dark historical timber ceiling and the ultra-clean, matte white modern room partitions.

- Geometry
- Long rectangular volume featuring a prominent white partition wall on the right, a stepped white display counter in the foreground, and a tall glass block window opening on the left wall.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry exterior walls with heavy timber roof truss framing.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story volume with an elevated, exposed timber truss ceiling height of roughly two stories.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused daylight entering through the glass block wall, supplemented by a linear track lighting fixture suspended below the ceiling.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, quiet, and museum-like, balanced by the warmth of aged timber overhead.
- Environmental context
- Interior adaptive reuse space featuring historical industrial structural elements paired with modern insertions.
- Spatial experience
- The eye moves from the low, clean white volume in the foreground into the deep perspective defined by stark white walls and contrasting rustic timber overhead.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating exposed roof joists establish a strong overhead rhythmic grid that contrasts with the smooth, monolithic white surfaces below.
