ANDERSON SCHOOL (Bothell, Wash.)
It has now been reimagined as a veritable concert of space, texture, colors, and tastes. The full-sized, saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by tropical flora, skylights kept permanently open, and the upstairs North Shore Lagoon tiki bar.

Enclosing the courtyard area is a series of buildings constructed in a practical, multipurpose/generic design back in 1959 – a perfect blank canvas for more creative fun.

The buildings now house event spaces, a movie theater, and two restaurants. The courtyard is now called Haynes Square, named for the local family that had such a lasting, positive impact on both the community and the school, and is the heartbeat of the property, with its stage for live music, small bar and outdoor seating.

ELKS TEMPLE (Tacoma, Wash.)
Within the dilapidated building of the old Elks Lodge is the grand ballroom. 30 years of vacancy and untold numbers of high school kids, homeless people and curious onlookers explored its vast spaces, and gradually the place was stripped of most of its fixtures and architectural flourishes.

Now called the Spanish Ballroom, and opening onto the Spanish Steps, it's been restored to its full glory and is a thriving venue for special events and live music.

The fourth floor houses another grand space within the majestic, Elks Lodge. Note the chandelier medallion in the ceiling, which was saved and restored with great care by talented craftsmen and artists.
