Guild

Location: Washington, DC, USA

Client: Forest City Enterprises

Johnson Fain was commissioned to design Guild Lofts, a new mixed-use residential project containing 191 apartments in the historic Washington D.C. Navy Yard.  The bold and simple massing of the 200,000 square foot building recalls the industrial scale and character of nearby historic ship-building structures. Large expanses of glass, perforated exterior shading panels and rooftop clerestories maximize natural daylighting. The building’s concrete frame is animated by a combination of clear glass, industrial window frames and balconies.  Amenities include a two-story social lounge and landscaped courtyard in addition to a roof-top garden with views of the Anacostia River. The ground level is populated with outboard retail stores and the interior
