We are proud to announce the grand opening of the

first of many automated wine bars designed by Simon Jacobsen.

The Tasting Room at Reston Town Center features a unique Jacobsen design that contextually links the wine bar to the mother ship "The Boxwood Winery" in Middleburg, VA The bar is completely automated which means that patrons purchasing wine by the glass can do so by interacting with a series of sleek stainless steel dispensing machines without the interaction of a waiter. Also in the planning are numerous other venues such as Wisconsin Center in Chevy Chase, Penn Quarter-DC, New York, and other locations around the country.

HOUSE TOUR

Location

2927 University Terrace NW
Washington, District of Columbia


202.667.1798

"Local architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen, FAIA, became famous for his houses designed as a series of simple, gabled pavilions, but this is the only example of such a project in the District of Columbia. The house has won numerous awards and gained international recognition for its dramatic, contemporary design and innovative approach to the challenging site. Tour-goers will no doubt delight in Jacobsen's trademark gutterless, eaveless roofs that yield pure forms suggesting a child's archetypal drawing of a house."

Owner Peter F. Hapstak, III, AIA, IIDA, ISP, saved the house from a developer's wrecking ball in 2001 and made it his home; he now generously opens its doors for our tour.

Self-guided tours take place 1:00 - 2:00pm, 2:00 - 3:00pm and 3:00 - 4:00pm. Please register for one, hour-long session.

$25.00 Members/Non-members. Refreshments provided by Mr. Hapstak. 1.0 LU.
