Museums & Cultural
Bridging antiquity to modern day, museums and cultural facilities provide opportunities for reflection and learning.
Museums balance education, research, and preservation through beauty, function, and intention.
The Projects Group understands that all facets of museums and cultural spaces have profound meaning and share the opportunity to enlighten and inspire. In our work with cultural and museum facilities, we recognize that the front-of-house must be beautiful, the back-of-house must be functional, and the overall design must be intentional. Our expertise will ensure that your collections maintain priority for posterity.
Lobby
Museum lobbies are much more than just areas that connect different spaces. They set the tone for the entire museum aesthetic and often serve as architectural punctuation. At TPG, we have extensive experience working with cultural facilities to activate their lobbies and entry spaces, often creating the backdrop for spectacular events and memorable multi-functional gathering spaces.
Galleries
Showcasing your collection while maintaining a seamless guest experience is critical within gallery spaces. TPG will work in tandem with your curatorial team to ensure all spaces deliver maximum guest impact.
Back of House/Archives
Storage, logistics, and collections movement are all critical components and decisions that must be evaluated and made during the construction of a museum project. TPG will work alongside your collections team and facilities team to develop logical hierarchies of priorities.
MEP Systems & Security
At TPG, we understand that the heartbeat of a museum lies in its environmental systems and will select the appropriate MEP experts to design your system. These systems are critical and operate around the clock, 365 days a year, ensuring the preservation of priceless collections. We have extensive knowledge of the life-cycle and redundancies required to maintain these systems, including customizable controls, fail-safes, and security considerations. Trust us to help you select the necessary experts to ensure your museum is designed to operate at its best.
Logistics & Storage
When partnering with TPG, we prioritize building strong relationships with your key stakeholders to ensure we fully understand your logistics, conservation, curatorial, and facilities needs. You are the expert on your unique needs, and our team is here to collaborate with you to create tailored solutions that align with your goals and priorities.
Lighting
Effective lighting design is crucial in museums and cultural spaces as it greatly affects visibility and perception. At TPG, we fully acknowledge and appreciate the significance of impactful exhibition design while also preserving the art. Our team of experts is committed to balancing architectural intent with exhibition display to ensure a seamless and delicate approach. We collaborate with astute lighting design consultants who have extensive experience in evaluating all needs to create the perfect ambiance.
Collections Management
As a museum, there are plenty of behind-the-scenes aspects that need to be taken care of, such as archival storage, exhibit management, inventory, and preparation. To ensure your project outcome meets your needs from storage to display, TPG partners with your collections management team to prioritize objectives and develop tailored solutions.
