"The space should feel like it was designed for an off the grid Pacific Northwest hippy mathematician." The program called for a retail area and a bar space which would feel intimate with 30 patrons but also function as an extension of a larger event space with capacity for 150. Within an old car garage with 20 foot high ceilings Berg Design designed geodesic dome shell structures in the middle of the space. The dome shell divides the space roughly into thirds defining the retail space along the street front, the bar within the dome and the large event space in the rear of the building. The event space is visually opened and closed to the bar area by installing and uninstalling removable panels on one of the shells.
