Modern Private Museum in Japan, by Atelier Hitoshi Abe

Kanno Museum in Shiogama, Japan, is an artistic display in itself. Designed by Atelier Hitoshi Abe, this modern museum was designed to house a private collection of contemporary sculptures owned by the client. The imaginative architect created a unique venue that is as much art as it is architecture. A concrete staircase leads up to the 10-by-12-by-10-meter structure, which boasts an industrial, metal cladding that looks weathered by rain and rust. The rich, red treatment is a stark contrast to the bright white interiors, which provide a blank canvas on which to display the collection. The building’s interior is divided into eight spaces, each housing its own sculpture. The overall interior topography incorporates slanted walls and well-thought-out windows and doors that flood the space with natural light. Atelier Hitoshi Abe
