Contemporary art gallery Louis Buhl & Co. has announced that it will move out of its longtime space in downtown Detroit and into expansive new digs at the site of a decrepit former convent on the city’s east side. Led by Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects (LOHA), the adaptive reuse project will see the crumbling, long-abandoned brick structure at the corner of McClellan Avenue and Agnes Street be reborn as a multifaceted arts hub complete with a production studio, reception area with retail space, and a generously sized exhibition hall enclosed with translucent polycarbonate panels.
A newly built addition located next to the main convent structure will house Louis Buhl & Co.’s archive while a new courtyard on the grounds will serve as a space for outdoor programming and community events when the project debuts—if the current timeline holds—late next year.
