OTJ Breathes New Life Into A Storied Mixed-Use Facility In Washington D.C.<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Small Commercial Lobby\/Amenity Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A narrow, liminal perimeter area inside a spectacular mixed-use Pelli Clarke & Partners building at 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington D.C., situated steps from the White House might have sat vacant if not for OTJ<\/a>. Now, it\u2019s a studied sequence of amenity spaces that serves as catnip to prospective workplace tenants. There\u2019s a touchdown counter for hot-desking, communal banquette seating, a custom bar for events, tech-equipped conference rooms, and breakout lounges. Inspired by the building\u2019s striking curved glass facade, the interior blends curvilinear forms, supersize lighting fixtures, and a soft-neutral palette emphasizing blue-gray and cognac. Organic gestures are expressed through rounded soffits, the eased corners of glass-fronted confab rooms, and, most notably, in the flooring, where a wave of poured terrazzo intersects pale wood planks in echo of the curtainwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
