Brooklyn Paramount Theater

Over the past 96 years, the Paramount theater has weathered its fair share of challenges, but our goal was clear: to restore, refresh, and elevate every facet of the building, rekindling the vibrant spirit of this extraordinary entertainment palace. Our aim was to craft a gathering place that Brooklyn could take pride in, one that would once again draw the world's top performers and become a premier destination.



By examining the venue's original design and historical drawings from the 1920s, the team salvaged important details that provided inspiration for the restoration. Enhancements include a comprehensive marquee redesign, reconstruction of the front entrance, a reimagined ticket lobby, and repair of an intricately designed plaster ceiling. The upper balcony was transformed into mechanical areas, while replicated rococo columns and an exclusive VIP lounge, Ella’s, pay homage to the venue’s rich history, including Fitzgerald’s iconic performances of the 1950s. The result is a historical reinterpretation of the venue that accommodates the needs of both contemporary performers and audience members.



While every aspect of the project holds significance, there are certain highlights that we hold dear:

- The magnificent latticework ceiling of the venue, meticulously restored and illuminated with dynamic effects that transform the entire space, enhancing the stage performances.

- Ella’s Lounge, a gem born from repurposed office, staircase, and hallway spaces, now transformed into a VIP lounge offering an elevated experience for venue patrons.

- The restoration and enrichment of the three-story grand Foyer space, featuring a new bar, ticket lobby, and mesmerizing projection mapped visual effects, breathing new life into this iconic space.
