Classic Design Studios

When we purchased this building in 2015 we were full of excitement and had no idea where it would bring us. Now, after lots of hard work, is a lively place again, housing a wonderful creative community of people and businesses. This Summer the top floor Y Dormitory will be available to rent for anyone wanting to enjoy this special building and explore Astoria and the beautiful Pacific North West. More info on booking and availability of the Y Dormitory will follow soon.

We're proud to share that the City of Astoria, Oregon has awarded the former YMCA restoration project the Dr. Edward Harvey Historic Preservation Award. We are honored and grateful for the city's support and their acknowledgement for all the hard work done turning this building into the lively and special place it is today. There's more big steps ahead us and we're excited to keep on working to accomplish all our dreams and ideas for this great building.

Much gratitude to everyone involved, my partner , my family and sweet folks and Lucy, dear friends, especially and all the great people who are working inside this building you are the ones bringing this building back to life.
And last but not least Terry and his family and Holy Smokes.
