Dangrove Art Facility
Customer: Dangrove Art Facility - White Rabbit Gallery
Location: Sydney NSW
Industry: Art & Entertainment
Overview:
Dangrove, an innovative arts storage facility managed by Judith Neilson Projects, required a highly customized storage solution to effectively manage a diverse range of art pieces in various shapes and sizes. The challenge included integrating storage systems seamlessly within the art gallery theme, utilising existing infrastructure, and minimising disruption during the transition from the old site to the new facility.
The 10,000m² facility for Dangrove is for specialised art storage and operations for the White Rabbit Gallery, which houses one of the world’s finest private collections of contemporary Chinese art. Primarily operating as a storage space with the occasional private event, the art storage is designed to enhance curatorial activity by providing opportunity to view and experience art in the context of a working facility.
The Storeplan team was pleased to be selected to design, supply and install personalised storage solutions for the wide variety of unique art pieces.

Every now and then we land a project that is a little out of the box and tests our product knowledge, as well as our skills as designers, engineers and project management.
We enjoyed the challenge of such a unique project & working with Aver to fulfil their vision for this new facility.
The project involved:
- Dismantle & relocation of existing warehouse storage solutions to the new site in Alexandria, then customisation of existing industrial racking systems to suit the new areas.
- Three custom structural mezzanine floors in custom paint colour to fit in with the overall aesthetic of the building & internal design.
- New Schaefer warehouse racking systems for both pallet storage and for use as heavy duty shelving with the addition of MDF shelves.
- Cantilever racking for storage of long and difficult to store pieces.
