NGSS
(Northrop Grumman Ship Systems)
600 SF
Located
at 300 M Street, SE across from the Navy Shipyard, the lobby
of Northrop Grumman Ship Systems is designed to feel like the
Quarterdeck
of a ship. Our inspiration came from a round table discussion
with the president of NGSS, a retired Navy Rear Admiral. We
spoke about
the evolution of ship design, which then inspired us to research
the history of marine architecture itself. All of the detailing
and construction techniques are thus derived from what we
learned. The lobby acts as both a functional connection to the
NGSS
staff offices and conference center, as well as a testament
to the rich
history of ship building. Three of today’s NGSS ship
designs are also displayed in the lobby. Each of these highly-detailed
models are accompanied by an LCD screen that introduces visitors
to current ship programs.The design of these screens is also
inspired
by navigational ship equipment, making the overall experience
of the space both memorable and unique.
