华盛顿 2501 M 公寓丨美国华盛顿丨CORE architecture + design

Architect：CORE architecture + design

Location：2501 M Street Northwest, Washington, DC, USA

Project Year：2017

Category：Apartments

PRP Real Estate Investment Management chose CORE as Design Architect to transform a 1980s mixed-use property into 59 luxury condominiums and a new 12,000 SF ground floor restaurant space for Nobu, the world’s most recognized Japanese restaurant.

Originally an outdated office/residential building, 2501 M presented a challenge but also an opportunity to completely modernize and reshape a building in a class A location in Washington, DC. Unique to both design and construction, the top three floors of the building were to remain in place and occupied during the planning and construction phase of the new condominiums. The conversion of 2501 M into a residential building allowed CORE to increase the FAR by expanding the floor plate of the bottom six floors. Unique structural solutions were employed to expand the building envelope. Without the addition of new columns to the existing concrete slab, new horizontal expansions were designed to create a floating bay window effect. In total, the new design increased the floor area by almost 27,000 SF. The redesigned building integrates the newly created with the existing condominium units into one envelope, epitomized by the new grand lobby. The formerly dark interior space was replaced with a bright two-story glass lobby and marked by an L-shaped entrance canopy, which connects the interior space with the streetscape. 2501 M also features a party room, fitness facilities, and in-building parking.
