Commercial | Ventura, CA
We cantilevered this building on steel beams over an existing brick building built in 1932. The nightclub and lounge are accessed through an elevator shaft and a staircase that is glassed in and open to an art gallery wall on the opposite side of the shaft.
The roof rolls back to the sky and the open-air balcony faces out to the main street and surrounding downtown area. Fireplaces keep people toasty during colder months and a small stage hosts well known bands from Southern California, Austin, Nashville and more. A small kitchen turns out tasty small plates for a fun night of music, dancing and gourmet food and drink. The space is a lively restaurant and bar for brunch and dinner.
