Eames Institute Unveils Masterplan for New Archives in Marin County
What happened
The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity has unveiled a masterplan for its new archives in Marin County, California. The project, designed by Herzog & de Meuron and EHDD, involves transforming a mid-century modern warehouse into a cultural destination that includes galleries, a theater, and dining offerings. The transformation also includes changes to the surrounding 88.5-acre site and grounds.

Why it matters
The project is a large-scale adaptive reuse effort intended to create a new multidisciplinary museum by 2030. The Institute acquired the Novato campus in August 2025, and the new archives will expand the cultural offerings of the site.
