Q Club was my first project out of school and a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. Working with old buildings is a challenge but also super interesting, as who knows what might be uncovered or discovered as the process unfolds. One unique discovery was a defunct freight elevator buried within the old auto shop office spaces. We took out the elevator and used the old shaft space for a lighting installation—a kind of "easter egg" moment only visible when climbing the stair to the mezzanine.
Located on Capitol Hill, Seattle and still rocking
