Featured Property of the Week: 1007 O Street NW

Crafted by OPaL, DC’s award-winning design-build firm, this practically brand-new home is a refined statement of design, where every detail feels intentional and elevated. From its striking architecture to its effortlessly livable layout, the [3BR/3.5BA] home is both a showpiece and a sanctuary. Think timeless materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a calm, understated elegance that lets you exhale the moment you walk in. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to feel something. And in a neighborhood as sought-after as Logan Circle, opportunities like this don’t come around often.” (more…)

From the National Building Museum (401 F Street, NW):
“Architecture students from The Catholic University of America will build a massive floating spaceframe in the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., using sustainable materials and new technology that was designed in part by a student and professor at the University.
This new approach could revolutionize spaceframe design and construction to be more sustainable, efficient, flexible, and affordable. Spaceframes appear in everything from geodesic domes and long-span roofs to solar arrays, aerospace systems, stadiums, and entertainment venues like The Sphere in Las Vegas.
The Catholic University students will build The Wave, a soaring 180-by-55-foot, 4,300-pound recycled aluminum spaceframe in the National Building Museum’s Great Hall from Dec. 18 to 19, 2025. The completed installation will be on view from Dec. 27, 2025 through Feb. 8, 2026. (more…)
