Atelier Noir reimagines a former foundry as a gallery for contemporary sculpture. The intervention is deliberately quiet: a continuous dark floor, recessed lighting, and a clerestory that traces the sun across the day.

Visitors move through a choreography of compression and release, the architecture receding so that the work, and the light upon it, can speak.
