Glass Box in DC

A contemporary restaurant remodel project that received both the 2017 Award of Merit from the Washington DC AIA and the 2017 Pacific Coast Gold Nugget Grand Prize. The restaurant features electrochromic glass which can change from pitch black to ultra clear with the flip of the switch. The glass was essential in achieving a clean look while avoiding heat gain and preserving views to the historic National Post Office Courtyard. I served as the project architect, and took the project from initial concept stages through construction and closeout.
