In 1995, Soren Rasmussen retrofitted the ground floor of the heritage Gastown building at 375 Water Street into Steamworks Brew Pub — and did so not only as its architect but as its co-founding partner, alongside Eli Gershkovitch.

The design was built around what Steamworks describes as Canada's first steam-powered brewing system, drawing on the building's original steam-heat piping — the feature that gave the brewery its name. From an initial 184 seats, Steamworks grew into one of Vancouver's landmark brewpubs, occupying the foot of The Landing — the very warehouse complex Rasmussen had converted seven years earlier. Gershkovitch bought out Rasmussen's share of the business in 1997; the pub continues to this day.
