The Gym
West Queen Anne School
“The Gym”
Designed by Eric Cobb, The Gym is a masterpiece of modern aesthetics and adaptive reuse.
Despite its historic brick façade, this soaring, light-filled space feels profoundly urban. It is an exquisite juxtaposition of old meets new—a thoroughly modern home created from what used to be the gym and auditorium of the West Queen Anne School.
The exposed concrete pillars and ceilings bring texture and rugged warmth to what could have been an imposingly large space. Walls of double-height windows conceal impressive 14-foot pivot doors that blend seamlessly with the historic building. There are innumerable details to explore in this one-of-a-kind space.
