Fathom Gallery: A Former Car Repair Garage Debuts as an Events Venue

Walter Nicholls
March 25, 2010
Bringing together modern decor and Victorian architecture, the 1,865-square-foot Fathom Gallery opened as a bilevel event venue in early January near Logan Circle. The restored red brick building also houses the offices of Fathom Creative, which owns and manages the space.

The lobby consists of a 450-square-foot room with white walls, a dark gray polished cement floor, and three floor-to-ceiling pivoting glass doors that open onto the street. Hallways on each side of the lobby lead to two bathrooms and a smaller space suitable for a registration area or bar.  

The upper level gallery, with reception space for 100 guests, has exposed brick walls, stained high-gloss oak floors, and chrome and glass details. Audiovisual components include a 50-inch flat-screen TV, sound system, and adjustable recessed and track halogen lights. A pair of salvaged garage doors reveal a sleek white and stainless steel kitchen. Off the kitchen, the owners are constructing a 2,000-square-foot roof deck and garden with a reveal slated for July.  

Fathom Gallery is available for a full or partial buyout. In addition, Fathom Creative creates personalized art work, promos, and framed photos that can be hung throughout the venue.
