Tyndall Galleries, an established fine arts dealer in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, requested the creation of an exhibit and retailing space to be located within a traditional shopping mall. The resulting 2,500 square foot gallery is designed to maximize the flexibility of display and to optimize art storage, framing, and office areas.

The gallery is a series of subtly intersecting surfaces designed to enhance the presentation of art. Working within the mall’s standard twenty-four foot high lease bay, the interior space is constructed of simple gypsum board walls of varying height, thickness and proportion designed to offer a variety of settings conducive to the exhibit of paintings and sculpture. Overhead, a suspended horizontal plane dubbed "the cloud" suggests a clear path though the gallery, linking the store’s entrance to the work within. The cloud both conceals ductwork above and serves as a mounting surface for track lighting.

Szostak Design served as construction manager for the project with responsibility for the coordination of trades, quality control, scheduling, and project budgeting.
