The structure was commissioned by the Magazzino Italian Art Museum in Cold Spring, New York. The structure is titled the Robert Olnick Pavilion. The concrete-clad pavilion, "partially submerged into a sloping green hill," features a minimalistic facade with square windows and an L-shaped aesthetic. The interior houses a [double-height gallery space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galeria-house). Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo strategically placed the windows in order to achieve an interesting sundial effect. The Robert Olnick Pavilion has two floors and a mezzanine. The space houses a [café](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berhaus) and lends itself well to the demands of exhibitions and programming hosting.
