Hirshhorn Lobby Updates Underway
Renovations are in full swing in the lobby of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, which was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). The Hirshhorn announced its lobby refresh by Hirsoshi Sugimoto in December 2017.
The lobby, which will see its first major redesign in the Hirshhorn’s 42-year history, will gain an outpost of local coffee and gelato purveyor Dolcezza as well as lounge seating by Sugimoto’s firm,New Material Research Laboratory (NMRL). A light installation by Olafur Eliasson will also be on display.
