Challenge
1900 N Street is a new, iconic, 11-story, trophy class office building between Dupont Circle Historic District and downtown. Formerly seven separate lots, we shepherded the project through complex approvals processes to create one lot and maximize square footage with a unique glass embellishment atop the building.
Solution
A prominent structural truss articulates the building mass above the 11th floor, supporting eight floors and providing a three-story, column-free, corner lobby. Enclosed within a glass architectural embellishment that rises above the adjacent roof, the truss is celebrated as a unique design feature that marks the gateway between two notable neighborhoods. With nearly every column on the perimeter, the long floor plate efficiently accommodates perimeter offices and reduces the square footage needed for interior support functions. Critical to the design is the expression and integration of building systems, supporting wellness and energy efficiency.
Impact
1900 N Street is an iconic, landmark building in the heart of Washington, DC. The light-filled, three-story corner lobby will welcomes visitors into a vibrant, state-of-the-art work environment.
