STUDIO PROJECT FROM FALL 2022
House of Hits
The House of Hits was an iconic place of Jazz in the 18th and Vine District of Kansas City. This was a design to bring a jazz theater to the corner of 18th and Vine. There were two ways to initially address the corner: keep the urban edge or break away from it. In shaping the building and developing the program on the site it was clear that subtracting from the corner and keeping partial urban edge of both promenint sides allowed for the building to give back to the community as a gathering space. The two objectives became (1) Engage the Corner through carving of the building, (2) Extend the Public Realm through physical access to the theater and exterior. This allowed for a natural public space on the corner to be an overflow of venders on First Fridays where people come to buy and sell local items and jazz performances to fill the street.

The bandshell shape came form from the curvature of the brass instruments of jazz such as the trumpet and saxophone.
