SCHAUM和SHIEH在休斯頓設計了一個由白橡木音樂廳，一大片草坪和小塔閣組成的充滿活力的音樂場地。該項目面積為7英畝，沿著白橡木河口展開。這個項目是將大型的主要場地和一些較小的地塊拼湊而成的，這個項目是城市填白的獨特的案例，融入了周邊地塊形成的肌理中，兩側是河口的排洪渠，可以看到休斯敦的天際線。由當地多元化的現場音樂愛好者和專業人士擁有和經營，場地為Near Northside社區和城市提供了一個全新的，最先進的，以交通為導向的文化中心。

Text description provided by the architects. SCHAUM/SHIEH, Houston and New York based architects, have designed a dynamic cluster of music venues in Houston consisting of The White Oak Music Hall, The Lawn, and Raven Tower Pavilion. The project is a seven acre assemblage of new and adapted buildings, open-air structures, landscaped areas, and paved and decked surfaces along the Little White Oak Bayou. Pieced together from one large main site and a collection of smaller lots, the project is a unique example of urban infill, feathered into the fabric of the neighborhood on both sides of the bayou floodway and offering views of the Houston skyline. Owned and operated by a diverse and local group of live music fans and professionals, the venues offer a new state-of-the-art, transit -oriented cultural hub for the Near Northside neighborhood and for the city.

白橡木音樂廳（WOMH）是該項目的重點。該建築於2017年竣工，擁有兩個演出廳：一層和二層，可容納1200人，是主廳和建築的核心，將雪松板分層間隔設置，有助於室內音效更加和諧，同時為環境照明燈預留好安裝位置。二層可容納200人，其視野更高，私密性更好的同時可遠眺城市景觀。舞台後面的窗戶允許觀眾在觀看演出的同時觀看城市天際線。在整個建築中採用材料本身色調構成建築色調：鋼材，混凝土和木材。審美觀：該流線被描繪成沉浸在明亮的色彩中，與黑暗的表演和科技房形成鮮明對比，標記著建築的不同區域。像傳統的搖滾場所的工業建築一樣，建築是為了各項積極活動而建造的，建築材料都經過了精挑細選和細節性處理以滿足在粗暴裝卸過程後建築所需的效果和耐久性。」

White Oak Music Hall (WOMH) is the anchor of the project. Completed in 2017, the building houses two performance halls: WOMH Downstairs and WOMH Upstairs. With a 1200-person capacity, WOMH Downstairs is the main hall and the heart of the building, containing two levels lined with cedar slats that are spaced to acoustically tune the room and provide pockets for ambient lighting. WOMH Upstairs" 200-person capacity provides a more intimate setting for up-and-coming acts. Windows behind the stage allow audience members to peek at the skyline while watching a show. Throughout the building, the material palette is matter-of-fact and elemental: steel bar, concrete bar, wood bar. The aesthetic is deliberately direct: the circulation is painted in immersive bright colors that pop in contrast to the dark performance and tech rooms and mark the different zones of the building. Like the industrial buildings that have traditionally housed rock and roll venues, the building is built for vigorous use? the materials selected and detailed to sturdily meet and wear with the rough handling expected.

白橡木草坪設有一個可容納3800人的圓形舞台，其它的規劃形式可框出城市天際線和周圍河口的景觀。。即使在炎熱的夏季夜晚，盛行風也能讓觀眾保持涼爽。陽台和屋頂平台增加了場地的垂直方向，並支持親密的觀眾體驗。

The White Oak Lawn is a 3,800 capacity amphitheater that was sculpted to frame the landscape around the bayou and the skyline. Prevailing winds keep concertgoers cool even on hot summer nights. Balconies and a roof deck add a vertical orientation to the venue, and support an intimate audience experience.

最後，現存的金屬倉庫和獨特的標誌性鐵塔被改造成了小塔閣，預計在2018年2月底/ 3月初重新開放，作為一個酒吧和小型表演空間。巨大的拱形開口被切割設置成鋼建築，並將其打開形成自然通風和景觀視野。現有的20噸鋼製起重機成為小型演出區的舞台。沿著河口的甲板露台隱藏了一個水塘，將表演空間延伸並整合到休閑風景中。

Lastly, an existing metal warehouse and unique landmark steel tower were converted into the Raven Tower Pavilion, slated to re-open as a bar and small performance space in late February / early March 2018. Large arched openings were surgically sliced into the steel building to open it to natural ventilation and views. The existing 20-ton steel crane became the proscenium to a small performance area. A decked patio along the bayou conceals a water detention pond, extending and integrating the performance space back into the laid-back landscape.

Troy Schaum在新的場地上進行了詳細闡述：「我們設計的表演空間比較堅硬，並且有一點壓縮比例，材料的粗糙性讓人們可觸摸，踩踏，摩擦。「隨著使用時間的變化，會保持不變。」建築師們強調了項目中的嵌套規模。建築師們強調了這個項目的嵌套規模，從二層的親密度到一層主廳的謙遜壯觀，最後在草坪作為室外城市客廳。

Architect Troy Schaum elaborated on the new venues: "We designed the performance spaces to be tough in character and a little compressed in proportion. The rawness of the materials invites people to touch, to kick, and rub up against them. They are meant to used and to wear their use over time.」 The architects emphasized the nesting scales within the project, from the intimacy of WOMH Upstairs to the modest grandeur of WOMH Downstairs, the main hall, culminating in The Lawn as an outdoor, urban living room for the city.

在圓形舞台中，建築師Rosalyne Shieh說：「當草坪在室外表演時，主要場地的灰色形式從河口的岸邊湧現出來，像一個地質物體一樣，覆蓋並穿越休斯敦市中心的天際線。」

Of the amphitheater, architect Rosalyne Shieh said: 「When The Lawn is teeming during an outdoor show, the gray form of the Main Venue emerges from the banks of the bayou, hulking behind the crowd like a geologic object, facing, across the distance, the skyline of downtown Houston.」

除了以特殊的方式為休斯頓的文化生活作出貢獻之外，這一系列場館不僅能擴建奎特曼街的輕軌站，以及還有休斯頓自行車騎行道路網。在一個自行車隨處可見的城市裡，白橡木音樂廳的建造和區位選擇都在積極鼓勵人們使用公共交通和自行車。

Beyond contributing to the cultural life of Houston in an exceptional way, this cluster of venues keys into the expanded light rail at Quitman Street as well as the latest extension of the Houston Bayou Hike and Bike trail network. In a city defined by automobiles, White Oak Music Hall builds upon and encourages the use of public transit and bicycles.
