Venue 300b

300b involves the creation of a 2,000 seat modern music venue – primarily for rock music performances. It is located at the river edge of the century old industrial building fabric, with expansive views of the downtown skyline across the river to the west. Public circulation is via a series of warped floors and ramps up the west façade, with expansive pockets that form a sequence of vertical gathering spaces arrayed up the front of the building. The small footprint imposes a constricting force, and the resulting internal pressure is allowed to distort the front façade.
