Abstract :
The borderlands of Notting Hill and Shepherdʹs Bush - at the very fringes of the Westway - have become the site of Londonʹs largest new privately owned artspace. A nonprofit foundation funded by Louise T Blouin MacBain, the Canadian CEO of a global media business and an arts philanthropist, the institute has been designed both as a home for the Blouin Foundation and as an effective showcase for the work of newly emerging and established artists. Jeremy Melvin describes how architects Borgos Dance have used the intriguing exterior of an old coachbuilderʹs workshop to their advantage, in hewing out a compelling new interior.
