]]> For a decade, our Adaptive Reuse team has worked to bring the Waldorf Astoria New York back to a state of grandeur and position it for modern-day use. The project combines careful preservation with meticulous restoration, resulting in thousands of design and construction decisions—many of which we’ll unpack next week.
Join us on February 12 in New York for an in-person conversation, The Waldorf Astoria New York—A Legacy Reimagined, at the Museum of the City of New York. Principal Frank Mahan will present a lecture in addition to joining a panel discussion alongside Ray Pepi of Building Conservation Associates, with Justin Davidson of New York Magazine moderating. Together, they’ll examine the architectural approach behind the project, the realities of working within a landmarked structure, and how the Waldorf’s cultural significance informed the work at every stage.

]]> As part of a larger vision for Washington D.C., we developed a comprehensive plan to convert underutilized federal buildings and campuses into highly sustainable and livable neighborhoods—a proposal that won an AIA DC Unbuilt Washington Award.
Today, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) campus is situated in Southwest Federal Center—a centrally located, yet disconnected neighborhood defined by the major vehicular-dominant thoroughfare, 14th Street. With BEP slated to relocate to Maryland, the site presents a rare opportunity to catalyze change at an urban scale and reinvigorate this downtown area. 
Our proposal reimagines this congested infrastructure into a pedestrian promenade that introduces a series of indoor and outdoor public amenities, while also creating a walkable connection from the National Mall to the Tidal Basin, the Wharf, and Potomac Park. BEP’s current facilities—the Main Building and Annex—would be converted from office to mixed-use, with a focus on housing and public amenities that would activate a 24/7 neighborhood.
