Bunkhouse Saloon

2014

The new ownership team requested a simple redecoration of the old dive bar / music venue, but it became a complete gut renovation after the original building was deemed structurally unsafe during demolition.

The structure was completely rebuilt to recall the original layout, while expanding the square footage and updating the functionality of the stage, kitchen, and restrooms.

The project scope also included masterplanning the remainder of the block, turning it into destination music venue with a new outdoor stage, amenities to attract national touring acts, monumental pedestrian entry, and renovated studio apartments.

Located in the heart of the redeveloping Fremont East District, this project was a complete renovation of the dilapidated SRO motel, converting it into a mixed use office, retail, and dining complex surrounding a new landscaped courtyard. The project included interior design for a tech startup office, two restaurants, flower shop, juice bar, and the firm’s new studio.

2013 to 2014

I was a staff architect in this small architecture studio, primarily focused on two renovation projects. The John E Carson building was the conversion of a two story mid-century motel into a mixed use complex, including interiors for several restaurants and offices within the development. The Bunkhouse Saloon was an expansion and complete reconstruction of the venue, including master planning for adjacent properties.
