Supernova Nightclub, Mutuus Studio Principals: Ar. Jim Friesz, Kristen Becker and Saul Becker

The owner, Zac Levine, teamed with Mutuus Studio and GMD Custom to build Seattle’s most culturally-inclusive atmospheric arts and entertainment nightclub..”

He says, “Supernova’s guiding principle is to create a welcoming environment for all people, focusing on the safety of women/femme, BIPOC, and the LGBTQIA+ community as employees, patrons, and entertainers. Catering to diverse audiences, and self-expression, Supernova welcomes everyone to enjoy a night of dancing, music, and art. Located at the corner of 1st Avenue and Horton Street in Seattle’s SODO neighborhood, a heavy-timber warehouse built in 1937 and spanning 6,500 sq. ft. is transformed into a nightclub with a capacity of 541 patrons across two floors. One enters Supernova through hand-painted mural walls and a house-mirrored hallway to arrive at the second-floor mezzanine overlooking the 30-ft.-wide stage featuring an 8-ft.-diameter disco-ball DJ booth at its center. One experiences music, stage lighting displays and artwork integrated everywhere. Other features include a vintage VW bus bar, a lounge with bright fluorescent shapes and a secret photo booth throughout the venue.
