Pareit Gallery
— A serene & flexible foundation for ever-changing art collections.
Pareit Gallery, located on the seafront in Knokke 't Zoute, was conceived as a serene foundation for art to unfold. The design acts as a blank canvas, allowing the gallery to adapt with ease to different collections and exhibitions. Light ceilings are introduced as a defining element, casting even illumination on both wall-mounted works and free-standing objects.
The decision to leave the existing concrete structures exposed preserves the raw authenticity of the site, while ensuring that the architecture itself never overshadows the art. At the front, a large pivot window opens the space to the promenade, drawing in passers-by and lowering the threshold to step inside.
The result is a gallery that combines a museum-like atmosphere with openness and accessibility, creating a stage where art can be experienced in its purest form.
