The new Thompson Hotel is a gateway to the redeveloped historic Navy Yard neighborhood in southeast Washington, DC.

The simple vertical massing integrates with the neighboring historic industrial buildings and provides a bold terminus to the N Street corridor leading from Nationals Park. The exterior architecture incorporates simple, durable materials, traditionally-inspired detailing, and rigorous composition in a contemporary nod to the historic industrial site and surrounding buildings.
