The Perry Glass Studio project at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA created 24,000 SF of new space and renovated 9,200 SF of the existing studio. The objective of this project was to expand the facility to house more classes and performative glassmaking space as well as exhibit different glassmaking processes. The coastal-resilient design involved elevating the building an additional 4 feet, rainwater collection for irrigation, the use of native salt-tolerant plants, and on-site water storage. The new addition and renovation added a theater-style performance hot shop, glass-making studios, gallery, classrooms, event space, retail space, catering kitchen, and roof terrace.
