The Wharf Residences is a 12-story residential development in Washington, DC, part of a new 3.2 million square foot mixed-use development being developed by Hoffman-Madison. Handel Architects’ building includes 124,000 square feet of residential rental units in 168 units, 179,000 square feet of for-sale condominiums in 130 units and 77,000 square feet of retail space on two levels, including a fitness club.
The building’s design is expressed using an industrial palette found in warehouses, docks and other waterfront structures. The building’s podium is split by a “Piazza Mews,” and further broken into smaller pavilions to break down the scale. The rhythm and feel of the podium is industrial, expressed with brick, black metal and glass, yet each of the individual pavilions is articulated differently based on the space it is facing.
Joe Moore contributed to this project as project architect in the office of Handel Architects.
