Inspired by its serene setting and gracious forms, the renovation of this 5,200 SF lobby atrium at 9201 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD, achieved a level of sophistication that beautifully rejuvenated the building's main entrance. Elimination of interior floor level changes and softening the perimeter garden areas result in a more comfortable, human space that better relates to the exterior and engages the visitor. The result is a timeless yet contemporary environment that continues to delight visitors and office tenants alike.

MCLEAN, VA
This outdated 1980’s Government and Corporate Office building in the heart of McLean, Virginia got a much needed exterior and interior renovation by the design team. The concept was to promote a serene yet professional environment both inside and out. Starting with the exterior hardscape, the design team improved site lines to the building by adding new street and building signage and incorporating a fountain and built in benches at the main entrance.
The main lobby and typical corridors on each floor were also completely renovated with new energy efficient lighting; interior graphics, directories and way -finding. The entire project was delivered on a fast track timetable with demolition and construction proceeding while the building was fully operational. Throughout the process, construction disruptions were carefully orchestrated to maintain day- to- day operations and cause as little disturbance as possible to building occupants.
