Rooms with a view ~ The Bunting Gallery
Published by square. November 29th, 2006
On a site of historical importance and within a conservation area in the Yorkshire moors Sybarite have created a gallery to display the sculptures of local artist, John Bunting. The brief was to create a gallery that was self-sustainable, secure and one that had minimal impact on the landscape so that the sculptures (created from local quarried stone and timber) are displayed in their natural habitat.
Curved glass walls minimise the glare on the surrounding landscape and allow free views straight through the gallery across the moors. The glass wall perimeter meanders in and out so that the three-dimensional sculptures can be observed from many angles. The choice of materials (glass, stainless steel, coloured polished concrete) means there is no repeat of the materials used in the display pieces. The perception of the gallery at night is of a ‘shard of light’ on the landscape. The gallery is intended for evening viewing just as much as for viewing during the day.
