Celebrating with a December 16 party, event promoters Fisayo Esconsay and Brandon Howard opened the 1,100-square-foot lounge Recess, which is located on the lower level of an office building, one block from the White House. The cozy space, dominated by a DJ booth constructed from a massive walnut slab, has dark wood floors and rod-scheme panels on the walls, backed by hemp paper.
In addition to nine stools at the black tiled bar, flexible seating options include leather banquettes, love seats, and contemporary cocktail tables. The partners installed extensive LED color lighting effects and a powerful audio system. Full buyous are available for 200 guests.
