A dynamic cafe and hospitality bar with an array of seating options and flexible workstations spills connects to an outdoor terrace through two large glass garage doors, offering a flexible space for events, impromptu meetings, or lunch with friends. A custom millwork banquet provides a transition between the indoor-outdoor space, as well as additional seating.

Gather’s signature conference rooms pay homage to the neighborhood’s historic context, celebrating famous department stores that originally anchored the Broad Street corridor. A custom three-story mural inspired by the era guides visitors up a communicating stair towards the light-filled reception area. Archival photography, artifacts, and print advertisements inspired design details in each room, distinguishing them within the larger concept.

By preserving the original ground floor storefront space, Gather engages with the Art District’s existing retail to enhance its street presence and attract tenants. High foot traffic and easy access to public transit make it the ideal location for small businesses, professionals, and entrepreneurs to connect and thrive in an environment that supports local creativity and character. Occupancy doubled from its original downtown location within one month and tripled by the end of the first quarter.
