For Light Music, a residential lobby and lounge design, Armand Graham and Aaron Yassin of New York City based A+A Studio wanted to connect the space to the dynamic neighborhood of Adams Morgan in Washington DC, where the nightlife and music scene, from jazz to Go-go to punk rock and electronic have always been central. This is their creative inspiration; the result is a unique space that combines cutting edge digital fabrication methods with traditional artisanal techniques to create an immersive world with its own pulse and rhythm that pays homage to the vibrant original music of DC.
