Robert Bonner designed this Multi-Family and Retail building for the Sedha Corporation located in the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle. He Designed and submitted this project for a Master Use Permit. Robert Bonner created a unique design concept for a small lot that required a mixed-use building in the Fremont area of Seattle which has several unusual buildings in the area. The City of Seattle requires a design review board to examine the project before the Master-Use Permit is issued to insure high design, so that the Architecture will work with the neighborhood. Responsibilities include meeting with the clients and determining the direction that the building should go, meet with city planners to review the drawings, and drafting the project in CAD.

Church, Seattle Central Mission Church,
Lynnwood, Concepts to CD’s:
Robert Bonner created several distinctive conceptual designs for a Korean Pentecostal congregation that needed room for their growing church. Significant religious events written in the Bible were used as an abstract design metaphor for the three main entrances into or within the church. The main entrance resembled Calvary hill as a tilt-up concrete angular panel which you would walk beside above the entry which was the churches library had structured glass in a cross formation. As you walked beside the “hill” you would then be compressed by the library’s concrete floor above and feel the weight that Christ bared.
Coffee Retail, Starbucks Coffee Co.,
Khobar, Saudi Arabia, Concepts to CD’s:
Designed a gender divided Coffee shop within a mall in Khobar that had a separate area for the men’s and women’s. As an admirer of Mies Van der Rohe, Robert Bonner used the Barcelona Pavilion, in Spain, as an inspiration for the
space, but used his vertical wall plains as a horizontal element too for ceiling soffits. Mies would uses walls as divisions for views that would enable the viewer to only see so much of the space that was about to be experienced.
Within the project the woman are separated from the main area, the woman’s space has frosted windows so that they cannot see out and passer by’s can’t see in, sits within a simple box. On the men’s side the complex design, an eroded box, uses a similar ideal of privacy by using divided walls that varies in length and height to respect the sense of what the woman may view but in an open space. Robert Bonner 's responsibilities included designing the concept, choosing the colors of the space, materials, artwork, cabinetry, and finalizing the drawing for construction. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/190e00/
Product Design, Sushi Roku,
Santa Monica Location, Beverly Hills,
Beer label design, interior lighting,
and post card:
Innovative Dining Group of Beverly Hills had Robert Bonner commissioned to design their “Red Sun” label for their specially brewed beer for Sushi Roku, which is distributed to their four locations. Sushi Roku is famous not only for their sushi, but also for the famous people that go there to eat their sushi. When the Sushi Roku team saw the designs for the beer label which was to be originally called Golden Buddha, he helped them by going with the Red Sun name which would go with their Zen like atmosphere. This interaction with the client also got him two more projects. One of the projects were the 6 (Roku) water light features in the middle of the Santa Monica location, where the water movement is reflected in the ceiling via the “glass light”. The second one was an invitation flyer for the Grand Opening for again, the Santa Monica location. Check out this link to see what Sushi Roku is about:
