Venue Features
The scene:
In its design approach, internationally acclaimed The Johnson Studio set out to preserve the integrity of the original architecture of the building while infusing contemporary design elements into the space. To achieve this, the team conserved the remaining concrete shell walls and rustic sawtooth redwood ceiling, maintaining the existing skylights that have been in place for decades. By adding new custom furnishings and finishes, the team was able to achieve an air of refinement in the space culminating in a polished, yet industrial environment.
Design:
Our venue boasts: * Exposed existing sawtooth redwood ceiling, beams & trusses, sealed in natural patina * Completely open expo kitchen with white vertical subway tiles, designed to highlight the talent and energy of the culinary team * Dining areas feature natural hickory-stained tabletops, elevated leather booth spaces, and white lacquered tables to contrast with the warm hickory * All furnishings are contemporary and polished, blending seamlessly with the raw shell of the historic structure. * Elevated bar with stained and sealed hickory wood countertop and acrylic 1” LED tubes, reminiscent of old cathode tubes, that serve as a both a chandelier and focal point. * Outdoor patio space features recycled granite countertops stacked to create a live, lush patio planter wall. The patio will offer al fresco dining year-round.
