Building Tour

View of west (entrance) elevation from lower garden area

Hard landscaping in front of the gallery entrance links the pedestrian bridge, the gallery entrance, and the lower garden area by means of gently sloping ramps.

A stepped seating area slopes down to the garden in front of the gallery entrance, providing seating and a space from which outdoor performances can be viewed.

The cafe will open via large sliding doors to an external seating area with panoramas over the garden and the River Calder.
