The Collective
Seattle, Washington
The Collective challenges the functional program of social clubs of the past. Designed to spur a sense of community and camaraderie within the context of a private club, it reimagines traditional club elements and instead focuses on experiences that bring people together: art, music, dining, co-working, health and wellness, and connecting with nature. Artwork can be found on nearly every surface — from the dramatic art installation on the ceiling that mimics the topographical features of the ocean floor in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to the custom wall art commissioned from local artists — and it creates an atmosphere of casual comfort for members. This unique club features a bouldering wall, luxurious locker room, day and night bar, sunken fire pit, two-story hammock garden, restaurant, and collaborative work spaces.
