About Chipperfield Museum Gray

Chipperfield Museum Gray distills the restrained museum architecture of David Chipperfield — the Neues Museum and James-Simon-Galerie in Berlin — into a digital design system. The ground is hand-sandblasted precast concrete with Saxon white-marble aggregate: a pale, sober warm stone-grey, deliberately neither cream nor white.

A recycled-brick terracotta from the Neues Museum supplies the single accent, and classical roman capitals fit the museum register. The result is calm, rectilinear, and material — sober stone panels, column-and-lintel framing, and engraved-capital labels.
