Garage Museum

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the most significant contemporary art institutions in Europe. Our first collaboration began in 2008, when the museum first opened its doors. As Garage grew — adding a library, research projects, educational programmes, and public events — the website needed to grow with it.

The challenge was bringing all of these directions into one coherent digital environment without losing clarity or the museum's distinct character. The approach was content-first. With large volumes of regularly updated material across multiple departments, the design needed to stay out of the way — supporting the content rather than competing with it.

Composition and typography did the structural work.

Garage has a restrained but distinctive visual identity. Working within it, we found new expressive details through nuances of typography, spacing, form, and colour — enough to feel fresh without disrupting what makes the museum recognisable.

We built a system of universal layouts and card components that keep the site consistent across any volume of content. The homepage was restructured around exhibitions, an events calendar, and a Stream section that pulls material from across the museum — giving visitors a fuller picture of what Garage does.
