A Proposal for the H Street Library Redevelopment

Lori — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:23:28 +0000

And now for some (somewhat old) news – DC’s Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) put out a request several months back for proposals for 1300 H Street NE, (where the R.L. Christian Community Library currently sits empty), hoping for mixed-income projects combined with community-minded features.

Here are the renderings we created for PGN Architects as part of their proposal for a 28-unit apartment building over 3,000 square feet of retail.One of the interesting things about this process was the various iterations we went through for the facade treatment. We helped PGN Architects explore a couple different combinations of materials and locations of wood panel cladding on the exterior — and that’s one of the beauties of 3D renderings — it’s very easy to make design change on the fly and test out different schemes along the way.

This is our latest rendering for 440 K St NW (map). From the Mount Vernon Triangle Community Improvement District newsletter:

440 K will be the next apartment building to break ground in Mount Vernon Triangle. With 234 apartments, 440 K will feature two rooftop terraces, a pool, a private club room for social occasions, private balconies, and a fitness center. There will also be 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. “Mount Vernon Triangle is now well on its way to becoming what people want to experience when living and working in a great downtown neighborhood,” stated Charles (Sandy) Wilkes, Chairman of The Wilkes Company. 440 K Street will be the fourth building completed in Mount Vernon Place, the two million square foot, mixed-use development of The Wilkes Company and Quadrangle Development Corporation. Designed by Davis Carter Scott, the building is anticipated to be complete by the autumn of 2013.

Lots of changes coming to this area! More info on the entire scope of the project is at: MountVernonPlace.com
