From the exterior, the only indication of the gallery's installation is a new revolving door at the front of the church. Inside, the gallery walls are freestanding elements that preserve the Gothic interior. The gaps between the old stone walls and the new painted wood walls give the installation some tension, but the views over the freestanding walls is the most dramatic aspect of the design. Given the loftiness of Gothic architecture, its understandable that the architect decided to omit ceilings for most of the gallery areas.
