The 198 project presents a unique challenge: creating a sophisticated "third place" that balances accessibility with exclusivity along the 680 corridor. Our design team developed a compelling fundraising pitch deck showcasing an innovative three-tier concept—from the publicly accessible "Maker" bar on the ground floor, to curated membership spaces, topped by "The Grove" exclusive rooftop bar. The presentation successfully communicates how this strategic progression from public to private creates multiple revenue streams while redefining the modern social club experience.
