barrientos was hired to develop a feasibility analysis for the development of a new performing arts center in dowtown Bellevue to serve the Eastside community. barrientos will serve as the Project Manager for this development project and will coordinate the design, renovation, and construction of this stunning new performing arts space. PACE will be located at NE 106th St. and 10th Avenue NE in downtown Bellevue, Washington.

The design for PACE boldly announces the building’s artistic nature and spirit. The exterior reflects the cultural purpose PACE brings to the community, featuring alternating curtains of stone and glass to create a dramatic, distinctive effect in the urban setting. Although unique in style, the design will beautifully complement Bellevue’s varied architecture and modern sensibility. The interior includes a spacious lobby for gathering and greeting, with colored walls and lighting elements that create visual drama for patrons and passersby alike. Within the auditorium, sightlines are unobstructed from all 2,000 seats and patron comfort is paramount. The design emphasizes exceptional sound quality, warm and inviting lobbies, efficient and functional backstage spaces, a spacious stage able to accommodate virtually any production, and top-quality technical control areas. Every detail is designed to the exacting standards required of a great performing arts center.
