The Turnberry Tower will soar nearly 400 feet above the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia. The twenty-seven floors of Eighteen 81 are designed to accommodate 176 units with 23 different floor plans ranging in size from 1,700 to over 6,200 square feet. Floor to ceiling glass in every unit provides dramatic vistas to the capital.  It is slated for completion in 2010.  The Rosslyn Magazine highlighted Turnberry Tower in their Summer 2009 issue.

The new design allows individual start-up firms to lease single or multiple fully equipped and furnished offices and meeting rooms to present businesses of all sizes with the ability to operate professionally with additional benefits such as large conference and break rooms, multi-function copy rooms and gourmet pantries typically afforded to large organizations. Project design included coordination of and incorporation of a new elevator, new mechanical plumbing and electrical systems, and multiple break-out common areas in addition to the offices and conference rooms.

An award-winning unique interior design opportunity to create a 5-star elegant office dedicated to a collaborative working environment for a prestigious client in downtown D.C.  The key for this 13,000 sf project was to develop a high-end, collaborative office environment utilizing full height glazing to maintain individual office privacy while maintaining maximum overall transparency. The remainder of the space consisted of custom millwork and individual pieces of custom furniture to create a soft, almost residential aesthetic. Close coordination with the entire design team, including several specialty consultants, as well as the General Contractor’s team, was critical. In addition, a partnering relationship with a high energy and enthusiasm level was maintained throughout the project to meet the team’s common ultimate goal, with a shared sense of trust and responsibility.

A dramatic cost effective exterior transformation was achieved by encapsulating the existing former drab precast cladding and bronze anodized mullions in a clean and precise painted metal panel system. All of the work was carried out with the building fully occupied with no interior access required. Maximum use was made of a rout and return aluminum panel system, with no visible fasteners and standard extrusions, to achieve a dramatic up-dated image change in a short timeframe.
