Client: Tate Grade II* listed RIBA English Heritage Award
Caruso St John was appointed by Tate Britain in 2007. The long-term commission has involved the development of a masterplan for the whole of the Tate Millbank site, building on the strength of the earlier west-side project, which was completed in 2000. The first phase of the masterplan was completed in 2013, and it involved work to existing galleries and to public areas around the Rotunda at the Millbank entrance.
