Continuum Music is located on the vibrant crossroads of 18th and Vine, the jazz hub of Kansas City. Its sleek contours mirror the flowing harmonies of jazz melodies, while the traditional materials pay homage to the origins of Kansas City's jazz legacy during the 1920s. Rich and layered lighting creates a nostalgic, yet futuristic aura. Continuum's design draws inspiration from the emblematic fountain, an iconic symbol synonymous with Kansas City. This influence is elegantly integrated into the structure through the use of column wraps, ensuring that the very spirit of the city resonates throughout the building.
