Washington Court Apartments The principal challenge in the design of this mixed-use
residential and retail building was to integrate a new and clearly modern
building into an extremely important and publicly-regulated historic district.
The rich combination of brick, limestone, and terracotta and the scale
of the detailing on its three street facades relate the building to its
neighborhood. In contrast, the stucco and steel cladding of the new landscaped
community courtyard express an uncompromised minimalist modernity. The
residential units on the four floors above street level are duplexes,
and the attic floor contains flats, all with fireplaces and small balconies
overlooking the garden. |
