John Chamberlain Gallery - Chinati Foundation
Marfa, TX
While working at Schaum Shieh Architects, the office was engaged by the Chinati Foundation to lead a long-term adaptive-reuse project of several buildings across its Marfa art campus. The restoration of the John Chamberlain building used local, traditional building techniques.
The gallery is part of the Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum in Marfa created by artist Donald Judd.
Constructed during the 1940s as three warehouses devoted to storing wool and mohair, it was turned into a gallery by Judd in the 1980s but had been deteriorating because of the desert conditions.
