Cloud Studios

This project comes at an interesting time in the life of a rapidly changing city where creative places are being turned into high-end developments. This modest program seeks to maintain and support local music and musicians by providing sought after practice space in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill. The facility takes advantage of an unused basement that connects to the next door building through a garage and has access to a freight elevator from street level, making it ideal for musicians who need to move heavy gear in and out. A large central space serves as a place to gather and meet, while individual rooms for practicing line the perimeter.
