The new Michael Werner Gallery with Mameg is an artist studio-like space within a historic 1938 brick building in Beverly Hills; an unexpected pairing of spaces and programs centered around an open-air courtyard.

Entering off the street through the Mameg showroom, the existing interior is transformed into an enfilade of rooms and galleries. Circulation flows along the wall to the courtyard, punctuated by sidelight from the steel-framed windows, evoking a domestic scale and atmosphere with glimpses through and between rooms. Visual and physical connections to the garden orient each room; the courtyard is a meeting place for visitors and artists.
