The Frick Collection in New York has revealed designs by Annabelle Selldorf of Selldorf Architects for a $160-million renovation and expansion. The project will repurpose 60,000 square feet of the existing building, which was designed by Carrère and Hastings, and add 27,000 square feet of new construction to the Upper East Side institution. Beyer Blinder Belle is the executive architect.

A previous scheme to renovate the art museum drew ire from preservationists and neighbors; Davis Brody Bond’s 2014 design, which called for a gated garden designed by British landscape architect Russell Page to be replaced by a six-story addition, was scrapped in 2015 after facing strong criticism. A coalition called “Unite to Save the Frick,” whose sympathizers included Robert A.M. Stern, Maya Lin, and three former commissioners of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, vehemently opposed the plan, garnering thousands of signatures on a petition asking the museum’s board to halt the renovation. The Frick went back to the drawing board, selecting Selldorf Architects in October 2016.
