This fully-leased 1980 brick and glass building required a facelift without disrupting the tenants.

Great care was taken in the addition and renovation of this 1950’s house, which itself was a replica of a 17th century house in Massachusetts. While more than doubling its usable area and adding a detached garage, the historic character was maintained and strict guidelines of Chevy Chase Village followed. Project Team includes Architect-of-Record: Square 134 Architects, Design Architect: David Jones Architects, Interior Designer: Garrow Kedigian, Landscape Architect: Lila Fendrick Landscape Architecture and Garden Design.

This 1920s bungalow had been the victim of an insensitive addition in the 1980s. Without original documentation to guide us we were able to increase the usable space of the second floor while redicing the overall footprint and restoring the facade to an apropriate form.

Located just four blocks from the US Capitol, the Democratic National Committee’s forty-year old headquarters building needed an update to accommodate modern needs and to present a modern image. A complete renovation to the Committee’s two buildings was undertaken, and a steel and glass connector piece was designed and constructed to act as a bridge between the two structures. The design team acquired the required approvals from the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the Historic Preservation Review Board.

Located on the site of the former Washington Post roll storage area, Columbia Center’s lot was one of the last underdeveloped parcels in downtown Washington, DC. The narrow proportions of this mid-block site provided an opportunity to develop a dynamic language for the front façade in contrast to the monolithic facades of the neighboring 1960’s era buildings. Defined by two folded glass planes, the street façade rests on a strong horizontal base containing a third story balcony and the retail storefronts. Columbia Center’s entry is defined by a crystalline box structure that reveals the four-story interior atrium. A pedestrian entering the lobby of this 537,000 square foot building is confronted by a glass “waterfall” structure, natural wood materials, and acrylic glass light rods that are reminiscent of a bamboo forest. Project completed by principals Mark Ramirez and Ron Schneck while working with Hickok Cole Architects.
