As architects, our job is to bring someone’s vision to reality. Streamline Architects has had the pleasure of collaborating with The Circa 21 Speakeasy, who had a vision for how to transform and give new light to their existing speakeasy space. Renovations are nearing completion and opening day is right around the corner!
While Prohibition laws are in the past, the speakeasy look-and-feel is here to stay. The Circa 21 Speakeasy renovation pays tribute to a true1920’s speakeasy design mixed with modern-day flairs.
Streamline Architect’s Project Manager, Noah Strausser, designed the updated speakeasy to be as authentic as possible. Renovations include new lighting and flooring, fully accessible bathrooms, and opened-up windows to have an outdoor view.
When working on this design, we paid close attention to even the smallest of details to make this project come to life. Included in the renovation design was a brand new bar area.
The material selections made by the owners and those proposed by our design team were vital to creating that century-old look and feel that our clients desired.
The Speakeasy is located next to the Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse at 1818 3rd Avenue in the heart of the Rock Island Arts and Entertainment District. It is a multi-use facility, from musical events, comedy shows, and children's attractions to corporate functions, birthday parties, and bachelor/bachelorette parties. The facility seats 130 people and includes a complete stage with professional lighting and sound.
Stay tuned to continued construction progress, and join The Speakeasy for their Re-Opening show on Friday, October 7th!
