‘The intervention on the High Museum of Art is composed of three new buildings: a main pavilion, a building for special collections, and a building for administrative offices.

The extension doubles the exhibition space of the museum originally designed by Richard Meier in 1983. The theme of zenithal light is once again pursued through a grid of 1000 circular skylights atop each building. The north facing skylights fill the gallery spaces with the required amount of light. The heart of the scheme is the new ‘piazza’, which gives the project new life by linking the buildings, environment, and visitors.’

The project was completed in 2005.
