Explore This Amazing WorkNorval Foundation Art Museum
Norval Foundation is a modern pavilion for art set against a dramatic mountain and vineyard landscape. The building’s architectural design is a pure expression of form; a bold rectangular mass, delineating its heavy-walled enclosure and light oversailing roof. The selected materials palette is raw and honest, comprising primarily precast concrete, natural timber, granite and glass, contrasting the natural landscape. The building is constrained by a linear site, between a busy road and an existing wetland, creating a private space for the sculpture garden.
