901 7th Street, NW
Lobby Renvoation

For the lobby renovation of 901 7th Street, NW, the historic Marlow Building, we chose to use the brick that was left from the demolition of part of the original structure. The lobby actually occurs in the new expansion of the earlier building. We also used re-claimed wood planking for the floor of the lobby, which along with a new tin ceiling structure echo the wood floors and tin ceilings remaining elsewhere in the building. We then provided appropriate light levels with some interesting fixtures and used a cable suspension system on each of the brick walls to display information about the anchor tenant in the building, the Washington DC Convention and Tourism Corporation. This gave them the perfect backdrop to introduce the importance of the Washington DC Convention and Tourism Corporation to the city as visitors enter the building and wait for the elevator. On the non-brick walls, we used multi-colored wood panels to add warmth to the lobby and the other steel and glass systems.
