A London gallery built to house the private art collection of artist Damien Hirst has won the RIBA Stirling Prize for Architecture 2016.
Newport Street Gallery won the prestigious prize for architecture for the UK’s best new building.
Designed by architects Caruso St John, the gallery spans 37,000 square feet and includes six exhibition spaces – one with a ceiling height of eleven metres – split over two levels. The architects converted a street of listed industrial buildings in south London into the free public gallery to house Hirst’s private art collection, which includes works by Tracey Emin and Pablo Picasso. They were honoured at a special ceremony at the Royal Institute of British Architects on Thursday evening.
