Project Highlights

  • The project included full abatement and demolition of all ACM materials, interior finishes, and framing.

  • The complete reconstruction of MEP infrastructure included a brand-new mechanical system for ground-floor public spaces, and electrical systems throughout the entire building.

  • Existing exit stairwells were upgraded with the addition of stair pressurization systems to comply with new life safety codes.

  • Structural reinforcement of existing concrete core and shell was necessary for the construction of the hotel's rooftop bar and included concrete girders/beams for the floor system as well as steel beams/columns for the shell of the addition.

  • The open-air rooftop bar, Lady Bird, features collapsible floor-to-ceiling glass walls that offer unobstructed views of the White House.
