Abandoned almost continuously for over 50 years, this former trolley station below historic Dupont Circle has already been reborn as a rebellious citizen lead arts organization. The vision for this space was intended to build upon that momentum, amplifying what makes it unique and captivating: the ability to be thoroughly immersed, both physically underground and through its digital media running continuously along its seductively curving interior walls. The concept is simply to attach - to the ceiling - a low profile and minimally detailed housing for all necessary mechanical infrastructure (i.e. power, lighting, air conditioning, sprinklers, etc.). The exposed face of the housing is envisioned as a continuous digital surface. A similar strategy will be integrated into the existing track bed to literally wrap the space in digital media.

This modern waterfront home is defined by its strong promenade and seamless visual and physical connection to the water. Located along the southern edge of the lot, the residence uses contrasting volumes—wood and metal—to distinguish public and private spaces. A raw steel canopy marks the entry and unifies the two primary masses, while a subtle shift in the wood volume follows the property line to maximize views. The result is a spatially dynamic home that blends architectural clarity with site-specific responsiveness, offering a refined approach to modern residential design.

Across all interventions, material, color, and pattern are carefully considered to extend the cultural language of the existing building—drawing from its established motifs to reinforce identity while introducing a contemporary layer of use and performance.
