Design Museum, Kensington
Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall and Partners · London, United Kingdom · 1962
The Design Museum occupies the former Commonwealth Institute, retaining its distinctive hyperbolic-paraboloid roof. The redevelopment preserved the building's sculptural shell while John Pawson introduced a calm interior around a central atrium. Opened as a museum in 2016, it offers a clear study of adaptive reuse of post-war architecture.
