Project Description

In early 2019, our firm was approached to modernize this classic K Street office building and asked to provide new and updated amenities commensurate with the expectations of the building’s discerning tenant base. The first phase of this multi-phase update included a new bicycle storage room and shower/changing cabins; updating and expanding the fitness center and locker rooms; and the addition of a brand-new rooftop lounge and boardroom. The entire 7,000 square foot exterior roof deck was re-imagined as a series of spaces for both small- and large-scale gatherings, complete with sophisticated lighting, audio systems, fire pits, and large pergolas for formal and informal events.

For the project’s successful delivery, our firm provided a complete package of integrated services engaging architecture, interior design, furniture specification, environmental graphics/wayfinding, and MEP/Life Safety engineering services. The next phase of updates, scheduled for 2021, will include a major renovation to the building’s main lobby and public spaces, along with the addition of a meeting and conference center specifically for Tenant use.
