The International Dance Company requires a full-range facility for the production and performance of its art, and needs a variety of flexible support spaces to make the 280-seat theater more finacially viable. The Theater should harmonize with the context of historic bricktown while expressing its own fresh identity on the canal.

The support spaces form a protective showcase enveloping the precious Theater. The envelope itself becomes a work of art that entices one to discover the gem inside.
