The Vera Project, in the words of the client, “is a music and arts center run by and for youth.  Vera strives to fulfill its mission to fuel personal and community transformation through the vehicle of popular music shows produced in partnership with young people in Seattle.”  To achieve this end, we converted a 6,500sf conference room in the Seattle Center to a 9,500sf venue that includes a 350-person showroom, art gallery, offices, recording studio, silkscreen studio, concession area and backstage/support spaces.  

This animated walkthrough shows the original conceptual design for the space. It was used as a design tool, a presentation tool to the board of directors and, ultimately, as a tool in the $1.8 million fundraising effort.
