Nathaniel Gee lands Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art upgrade
Nathaniel Gee Architects has been appointed to oversee the restoration of the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art.
The Estorick Collection opened 18 years ago in Northampton Lodge, a grade II Georgian house in Canonbury, north London.
The building was converted with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund to create six galleries, an art library, café, bookshop and garden.
Nathaniel Gee, who was responsible for the original design of the Estorick in 1998, is currently working on new designs for the museum.
These include a new entrance, shop and facilities, renovation of the stairs and galleries, improved access and a redesign of the garden. This will include a new conservatory linking the café to the outside spaces.
The museum is set to reopen in January 2017.
