“To the best of our knowledge, the first Nitro draft cocktails on Georgia Ave. Spicy Margarita and a Sinnerling Sling now on tap.”

“We are thrilled to announce that Raise/Raze by Hou de Sousa has won Re-Ball!, the international design competition for a site-specific installation that will be the Dupont Underground’s debut event. Hou de Sousa is a dynamic, award-winning architecture and design studio based in New York City.
Raise/Raze transforms the 650,000 translucent plastic balls from the National Building Museum’s Beach exhibit into an assembly block system that is fully reconfigurable. While the installation will open with pre-assembled “zones,” visitors will be free to alter the installation to create their own objects and spaces. (more…)

“Cherrypicker, a web app that locates DC cherry trees near you so you can enjoy the annual blossoming without braving the crowds at the Tidal Basin.
This app uses DDOT street tree data, which covers more than 6,500 cherry trees throughout DC. I built it as a little reminder that beauty isn’t confined to the Mall (and as a way to scout out trees on my walk to work).”
