BROUWER'S CAFE

Owner: Matthew VandenBerghe Properties, LLC
Architect: Bjarko Serra Architects
Completion: March 2005

Exposed mechanical and structural elements define the interior of this warehouse-to-restaurant renovation in the heart of Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. Charter worked closely with a number of trades to ensure the exceptional finished quality of the exposed steel I-beams at the ceiling and structural shotcrete walls designed to simulate large granite slabs. The Flemish-style restaurant also features a suspended elliptical mezzanine constructed out of C-channel and laminated 2x4s.
