Kalkin House, Vermont
This prefab space was designed by architect Adam Kalkin and built from three transoceanic shipping containers surrounded by a 20-by-80-foot metal structure traditionally reserved for warehouses. Legendary decorator Albert Hadley collaborated on the gallery’s design, adding features such as oversize glass garage doors, metal balconies and a breathtaking, two-story outdoor curtain to create an open patio space. Since 2001, the house has held special collections and exhibits as an extension of Vermont’s Shelburne Museum. In its current exhibit, which runs until October 25, 2009, New York textiles designer Richard Saja has turned the space into a 19th-century saloon.
