Sutro Bathhouse

  One of the first things i worked on when i got to Trion was the Sutro Bathhouse concept. This task was ironically fitting seeing that i had just moved down from the bay area and had just visited the actual location 2 months prior.

  As my bay area folk might know, the sutro bathhouse was an enclosed swimming pool built in the 19th century by the sutro family and boasted beautiful wrought iron structures with glass panels and windows, it sadly burnt down in the 60's and the current site is an abandoned piece of land with some of the foundation of the old building showing through and deposits of sea water. I was asked to create a concept for sutro bathhouse in the San Francisco wastelands of Defiance, in which a race of scrapper robots had taken over and were using the site as a scrapyard/factory to create new units. Another idea that i was asked to play around with was the idea that the bathhouse had been restored by the Votans previously but had since gone to waste once again.

  After a lot of reference gathering to make sure what i drew was somewhat accurate to how the bathhouse would have looked, i started sketching and ended up with this!

Heres some reference for what it looks like today and what it looked like back in the day,
