The National Gallery in London announced that the team led by Selldorf Architects has been selected to complete a suite of capital projects to mark the Gallery’s Bicentenary, with an initial phase to be completed in 2024. The team, comprised of Purcell, Vogt Landscape, Arup, AEA Consulting, Pentagram, Kaizen, and Kendrick Hobbs will work with the National Gallery to complete the initial phase of works to its Trafalgar Square buildings to greatly improve the ‘welcome’ it provides to the millions of visitors it receives each year.

Selldorf Architects is pleased to partner with New York City College of Technology’s Department of Architectural Technology on two initiatives as part of the firm’s ongoing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion efforts. The first is the establishment of the Selldorf Architects Scholarship, an annual award given to students with strong design and technical skills. The inaugural recipients are Rafia Amin and Ololade Owolabi, fourth year students pursuing their Bachelor of Architecture.

Hauser & Wirth announced today that its new building at 542 West 22nd Street, designed by Selldorf Architects, will open on October 6. This 36,000 square foot, 5-story gallery is Hauser & Wirth’s first purpose-built, ground-up building. Selldorf Architects has collaborated with Hauser & Wirth on its spaces internationally since the founding of the gallery in 1992. As with all of Selldorf’s previous designs for Hauser & Wirth’s galleries, the goal is to create strong, well-proportioned spaces that place art at the forefront of the visitor’s experience. Here, the ground floor and second floor spaces that front the street feature 16-foot and 12-foot tall glass doors that completely fold away, opening the façade up to further engage the public with the art on view.

We are pleased to announce that Kevin Keating and Oliver Link have been made Associate Partners and William Doherty Chief Financial Officer. They will be joining the senior management team of Annabelle Selldorf, Principal, and Partners Sara Lopergolo, Julie Hausch-Fen and Lisa Green.

We are pleased to announce our selection as architects for the Shaker Museum’s new permanent facility in downtown Chatham, New York.
