This addition reminded me a bit of the one we looked at from Catholic University over the summer. The Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church is located at 3401 Nebraska Ave, NW. Do you think the addition fits well with the older structure to the right of the photo?
I walked past this building at Tunlaw and 37th Street.
It is split up into two homes. I think it looks pretty sweet. I know some folks don’t like curb cuts. But overall would you say thumbs up or down?
Last week I mentioned that the new building, View 14, at 14th and Florida is open for leasing. The project manager had a few clarifications:
“1. The pricing on forrent.com was not accurate. Our 2 bedroom / 2 Bath units currently start at $2,885, not at $3,870 as was noted in the comments
2. Yes, there is secured underground parking, with approximately 150 parking spaces for lease. We also have Zipcar carsharing on site.
3. The Comcast antenna tower will be removed soon. In its place, smaller dishes will be installed on the roof of View 14.
4. Invitations to the VIP party have not yet been sent to those that have registered on our list. We are gathering the names and our leasing team will send out an invitation via email as the event approaches.
If there are any further questions, please visit www.view14.com or contact our leasing staff at 202.797.1414.”
The Embassy of Finland is located at 3301 Massachusetts Ave NW.
I’m not sure about the exhibit but I really loved the building.
Future (?) Embassy of Brazil after the jump. (more…)
I thought this addition was super cool because of the windows. Notice that you can see the tree above the structure and through the window. It was really beautiful.
This was such a beautiful sight. I found it in the Woodland-Normanstone Terrace neighborhood not far from Woodley Park. I’m not sure if it is a proper carriage house. I was particularly taken with the blue roof and the extension to the main house.
We’ve previously judged this building here. From a press release:
“Level 2 Development Principal David Franco announced today that the leasing center for View 14, Washington, D.C.’s newest luxury apartment residence, is now open. Developed by Level 2 Development LLC, in partnership with Centrum Properties of Chicago, and managed by Bozzuto Management Company, View 14 is located at the intersection of 14th Street and Florida Avenue in the desirable U Street corridor and boasts amazing views of the city, stylish features, upscale amenities and modern design.
“We are extremely pleased that leasing efforts are underway at View 14,” stated David Franco. “The opening of our permanent leasing center represents an exciting benchmark for both the residence and the U Street corridor community.” Additionally, construction will be substantially completed by mid-November 2009.
In celebration of the opening, a VIP cocktail party will be held for friends of the project in December 2009. The first 150 people to register on View 14’s website, www.View14.com, will receive a special invite to attend the VIP party and a preview of the community.
View 14, the new beacon of 14th Street, boasts a new level of modern architecture at its finest. Its recognizable angular cantilevered glass wedge and its walls of angled glass cubes perched on 14th Street overlook all of D.C., capturing breathtaking views of the city. The building’s East side faces the Capitol while the West side faces the Washington Monument. So vast are its views that one can even see the Potomac River and Woodrow Wilson Bridge from its rooftop terrace.
View 14 is a 185-unit contemporary building offering a choice of unique studio, 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom and den, 2 bedroom and premium / duplex residences. Most apartment homes feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows; outdoor living space with sweeping city views; gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, maple cabinetry and stainless steel appliances; and recessed and track lighting in living areas. View 14’s amenities include 24-hour concierge services; controlled building access; secure parking; a fitness center; a media entertainment room; a business center; a lounge; a landscaped sculpture garden; a game room with billiards and shuffleboard; two roof decks with panoramic views of Washington, D.C.; and a green roof.
For more information about View 14 or to arrange for a tour, please visit www.View14.com or call 202.797.1414.”
I really liked the three levels of windows on this cool near the Naval Observatory.
This sweet one is from LeDroit Park. It looks like it might be able to use a little love but I was really digging this great window:
“Dear PoP,
I just bought a row house in Columbia Heights and I’m quite curious, how can I tell if my house is a Wardman row house? I suspect that it is, but do you have any suggestion on where I could go to be sure?”
That’s a great question. Can anyone help point the reader in the right direction?
