From the Wikipedia article
The Newport Street Gallery is an art gallery in London, England, created by contemporary artist Damien Hirst for the display of works from his personal art collection, and as a venue to put on exhibitions of interest to him. The Grade II listed building, formerly Hirst's studio, was awarded the RIBA Stirling Prize following its conversion in 2016 by Caruso St John Architects. Located on Newport Street in Vauxhall, admission to the public is free. Hirst announced plans for the gallery in March 2012, with a stated intent of realising "Hirst's long-term ambition to share his art collection with the public", opening in October 2015. It includes a cafe, gallery shop and offices for Hirst's company. The building is a former theatre carpentry and scenery production workshop, dating from 1913. It was designed by John Woodward, the London County Council's district surveyor for the area. It is Grade II listed. For its conversion to the gallery, the building was redesigned by Caruso St John. The design was praised for its "virtuosity", and in October 2016 it won the RIBA Stirling Prize. The gallery spans 37,000 square feet (3,400 m2) and includes six exhibition spaces – one with a ceiling height of 11 metres (36 ft) – split over two levels.
