Thesis Abstract

2175 K Street NW is located on the North Side of K Street at 22nd Street and Washington Circle. The building’s ideal location lends itself as a landmark and gateway to the K Street Commercial Corridor. The eight-story structure was built in 1981. Currently, it is 108,000 gross square feet. Through the use of Transfer Development Rights, the building will be increased in height by three floors. This vertical addition will increase the existing gross square footage by 37,500 square feet.

The new 22nd and K Street façades will be a unitized glass and metal curtain wall system. A state-of-the-art solar louvers will screen the existing façade and provides passive solar shading to the new façade; while simultaneously knitting the entire building together. A new glass corner overlooking Washington Circle spans floors 2 through 11, blends the new and the old systems together. 2175 K Street will be a Class A and signature building appropriate to its prominent location.
