VENUE HISTORY
Built in the 1920’s in an area that has long served as the city’s seafood market on the east side of Downtown, the building has lived many lives in its century of use. It’s been a fish and oyster company, an ice cream factory and a commercial site for everything from far east imports to marijuana cultivation. This quirky history serves as inspiration for the current space.
In 2017, Marmivon Venues collaborated with engineers, craftsmen and artists to completely redesign and refurbish the building that is now The Grass Room. To limit the environmental impact of construction, they took many of the materials freed up from the downsizing—lumber, steel, stairwells, flooring, even windows—and repurposed them into ceilings, walls, paneling, furniture and decorative elements. In its rebuild, the structure has tripled its energy efficiency.
Horticultural greenhouse roofs take full advantage of southern California’s sunshine and ocean breezes. Levered windows and shades automatically open and close, cooling and heating the space. State-of-the-art electric, plumbing and mechanical systems minimize energy use throughout the year.
