The building is a federation cottage sitting on a corner block, preserving the streetscape.
Stretched out behind it is an addition , like a cubist composition.

The gallery is on two levels and arranged around an internal courtyard. The gallery section is composed of a number of intersecting volumes held together by a double-height central spine.
