WorK Architecture + Design<\/span><\/span>‘s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Selected Projects<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Video Archive Bar – Cincinnati, Ohio<\/span><\/h4>\n

A fun speakeasy with a nod to Quentin Tarantino’s films. Covered by a working video store from the 1990s, clerks direct guests to activate a moving bookshelf door, which opens to reveal the upscale dive bar hidden behind it. The room features cracked glass mirrors, custom neon lighting, and an art installation called “Mia Wallace” that sits atop an old-fashioned jukebox.<\/p>\n

Holy Goat – Louisville, Kentucky<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This pre-Civil War church in Louisville’s Nulu neighborhood was built in 1846, and the second story was added in 1859. The two stories and historic choir loft of the 6,000-square-foot building have been painstakingly restored to create a mixed-use, multi-family, and commercial space. Interior Decorating was done by Workshop.<\/p>\n
