PARRISH ARt MUSEUM

Herzog and de Meuron designed the Parrish Art Museum for a 14 acre site in Water Mill. They drew inspiration from the local barns that artists like Jackson Pollock used as studios.

The simple section was generated around a circulation spine and then extruded for over 600 feet with a porch at each end. The building is oriented with its skylights facing north creating a diagonal relationship with the site. Public areas are on the west and service areas on the east. Heart pine salvaged from a demolished textile mill gives the galleries warmth. Concrete walls bracket the sides with a continuous bench with a view of the landscape design that evokes the area’s agricultural heritage.

Nearby you can find wineries like Wolffer Estate Vineyards as well as restaurants like Armin & Judy for a savory or sweet lunch.

Stop by this museum next time you are on the east end of Long Island.
