About The Project

Located adjacent to the auditorium at North Hill Retirement Community in Needham, MA, this self-service bar and lounge was designed as a dynamic social hub for residents. The space transitions effortlessly from a daytime coffee bar to an evening cocktail lounge, featuring Napa Technology’s WineStation, SpiritStation, and TapStation for an intuitive, staff-free experience. RFID-enabled self-pour technology allows for controlled access, age verification, and real-time inventory tracking. Designed with both function and leisure in mind, the lounge includes comfortable seating, a pool table, and a large-screen TV—offering residents a welcoming place to relax, socialize, and enjoy programming at their own pace.
