LOCATIONWashington, DC
STATUSCompleted 2015
STUDIOS was selected by Hines to reposition its K Street asset to attract and retain major tenants by designing a variety of building enhancements for the Washington, DC trophy office building. The renovations encompassed the lobby, roof terraces and penthouses at 1301 K Street, NW, located directly across from Franklin Square.

STUDIOS sought to reprogram the east and west penthouses with amenity conference and social lounge spaces imagined as an extension of the tenant’s lease areas. Along with reprogramming the penthouse spaces the existing roof terraces were reconceptualized to be transformed from utilitarian service spaces into a tenant amenity with outdoor terrace with casual seating and wood screens, a green wall and creative lighting.
