Detailed information

The Orange County Museum of Art in Costa Mesa is a shining example of precision and creativity in architectural design. Its facade, wrapped in a fluid composition of white terracotta panels, defines the building's identity with a bold sculptural shell. The curtain wall glazing adds an additional layer of depth, framing the ground-level galleries while allowing unobstructed daylight to bathe the interior spaces. This dynamic interplay between the terracotta and glass highlights the harmonious balance of form and function, making the museum both visually compelling and purposefully designed.
