Project Information: Bainbridge Island Museum of Art Location: Bainbridge Island, WA 98110 Area: 20,000 gsf Located across from the Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry, the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) which opened its doors June 14th 2013, will be the first building that is seen by both visitors and locals when arriving to the island by ferry. A building that responds to its environment The south, water-facing side of the building has a skin that is comprised of 28’ tall curved glass, allowing pedestrians a transparent view into the museum. The museum is illuminated at night, acting as a beacon that is visible from multiple vantages. The Architect created curved wood louvers to wrap around the outside of the glass in order to block direct sunlight and provide ample shade for the artwork. The louvers are automatically controlled by a light sensor that triggers them to open and close in response to the sun’s movement. On the second, uppermost level of the building, three long strip skylights allow natural light into the main gallery space. The risk of direct sunlight damaging any artwork is prevented through the installation of curved baffled light shelves that float underneath the skylights. LEED designation Museums are inherently energy-intensive due to such narrow tolerances in regard to humidity and temperature stability. Therefore, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold designation, certified by the US Green Building Council, is a challenging goal. Interior features The Grand Hall is marked by a 28’ tall ceiling and floor-to-ceiling glazing that allows volumes of natural light to illuminate the space. A dramatic wood staircase with glass rails takes visitors into the Beacon Gallery. The Beacon Gallery is unlike any other gallery in the building due to its visibility from the ferry, prominent glass shell, and overhead skylight. It is this gallery in particular that becomes illuminated at night, giving the effect of a glowing beacon.
