Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA, has unveiled a design by architecture studios Annum Architects, Reed Hilderbrand and Two Row Architect for its Native American Art Center after cancelling a scheme by Adjaye Associates last year.
The replacement design for the Perry Center for Native American Art features a circular structure covered in red-coloured shingles with a glass front and a central oculus on the ceiling to bring light in.

Renderings show three separate parabolic sections visible from the outside that delineate the separate section of the interior space, which converge in a lobby and central circulation area, illuminated by the oculus skylight. The museum team said the project is meant to reflect a "collaborative approach" between the museum, the architecture studios and Tribal Nations.

"Searching for the appropriate design response for the building and landscape has been a deliberate and deeply collaborative exploration between Shelburne Museum, Two Row, Reed Hilderbrand and Annum," said Annum Architects principal Steven Gerrard.
"Embedded in the design are careful listening, research and creative iteration of ideas, all reflective of how the museum has operated since its founding."
