17-Project: Washington Street Facade Open Competition - Winning entry.

Location: Boston, MA

Role: Lead Architectural Firm

Association: None, NJBA Project

Status:Unbuilt.

Description: Update the central and base of an existing building in Boston with a new design. Taking the existing upper left and right portions of the facade as cues, the new portion of the design builds upon the existing vocabulary without copying. A new central column identifies the building and gives it pressence, flanked by an undulating glass curtain wall. The base arcade provides a solid compositional foundation as the circular windows yield their design to the center of the facade.

Recommendation: Michael Dennis, Architect: "This scheme is without a doubt the strongest scheme presented today. It is simply the solution for this building."
