A Proposal for the H Street Library Redevelopment

By Lori | Published October 26, 2012

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.

The Maia

By Lori | Published April 4, 2012

These are the latest renderings for The Maia, a new residential project that will be located at 1350 Maryland Avenue NE (map), just a block south of the main H Street strip. The building will have eighty-four units, a mix of one and two bedrooms. The project will replace the Faith Bible Church that is currently located on the site, and is a Valor Development project designed by PGN Architects. More about the project (and about others similar in scale) can be read at Urban Turf.
