1. For this project, an early 1900’s generator loading and storage facility,
and more recently, a popular Washington, DC nightclub, was converted
into office space for a growing architecture firm. The free standing build-
ing, which sits in the center of a city block in downtown Washington, DC,
required major renovation in order to adapt to its new use. Two mezza-
nines were added within the building shell and the lower level was exca-
vated in order to accommodate 75 staff on 4 floors. A central atrium was
preserved and surrounded by a variety of meeting spaces, both formal
and informal, to promote collaboration and a sense of community for
the organization. The first floor of the atrium provides a setting where staff
and visiting congregate and are able to manipulate furniture, walls and
drapery to create spaces for small meetings or full town hall gatherings.
Special consideration was given to meeting LEED and sustainable strate-
gies with a main focus on energy conservation. The crumbling building
shell was pointed-up and painted with an insulating paint on the interior to
prevent infiltration and reduce heat transfer. Ultimately, what was seen a
valueless interior-block building that sat vacant for ten years was trans-
formed into a vibrant office building that benefited the organization and
improved its surrounding neighborhood.
