Brise Soleil, Cafe & Garden. Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, United Kingdom. Architect: Muma LLP, 2015.

---

At the heart of MUMA’s major redevelopment project was the creation of an elegant glass, stainless steel and brick extension, which sees two wings extend into Whitworth Park from the back of the existing 19th century building. For the extension, MUMA have developed a unique Whitworth blend of British brick and a brickwork pattern with a traditional textile slash work effect, inspired by the gallery’s extensive textile collection.
