The mission of T+H Gallery, celebrating its first anniversary in Boston’s SoWa Arts District this fall, is to “create a dynamic intercultural dialogue by showing both regional and international artists and providing a platform for experimental projects and ideas.” It aims toward this goal by utilizing an interesting floor plan of two spaces bisected by a semi-public concourse.

Inviting and intriguingly visible upon entering 460 Harrison Avenue’s entrance C, an entire wall of T+H’s gallery space is plate-glass. A transparent expanse perched high in a split-level lobby overlooks the main entrance, providing an architectural
