ABOUT THE SITE
NORTHEAST DC AREA PHOTOS
DIAGRAMS
The current site of TreeHouse Lounge is appropriate for my project. The address is 1006 Florida Ave Ne. This area is undergoing a lot of development which is in close proximity to the H Street NE area that has been completely revitalized and now draws people, especially young professionals, back into Washington DC. My site is framed with historical significance to Florida Avenue, Gallaudet University and H Street. I came to the realization that TreeHouse would be a great location to use for my design project. I can take the good and bad and design a cohesive space that works functionally and abstractly. Black Cat, Rock-N-Roll Hotel, and Velvet Lounge all have a music identity in the DC area, TreeHouse Lounge does not. By using this for my site, not only do I want to create a venue that appeals to the local area and provide music services that are currently not available to the Trinidad neighborhood.

CONCEPT
My thesis explores acoustical resonance and the intricacies of space and how it impacts social, behavior, and psychological encounters. The space serves main these functions: Bar and Lounge, Karaoke, Performance, and Studio. In addition to these functions, the venue will provide several music-oriented services which purpose is to unify and offer these services in one location. My intent is for the users to experience social interactions through the union of music through listening and engagement. I want to create a music venue that integrates various aspects of design that support the identity of the Trinidad neighborhood in NE DC. My design will be demonstrated in the form of a “soundgarden”. The soundgarden is a contemplative space that allows all levels of music lovers the privacy and exclusivity to enjoy various aspects of their interests and gives musical control and access to the patrons.
