Metropolitan Square

Washington D.C.

This extensive renovation of the rooftop garden provides a unique property amenity that overlooks the White House along 15th Street in downtown Washington. An existing terrace facing west has been redesigned to provide a flexible space for a variety of gatherings including special events to be catered by the Old Ebbitt Grill, Washington’s oldest bar and restaurant.

The program included an outdoor dining terrace for everyday use and special events, seating areas for social gathering, white house and Monuments overlook areas, artificial turf areas, and planted beds. The outdoor dining features an elegant wood floor underneath a steel trellis with potential for a retractable roof. Larger planters against the building feature perennials, groundcovers, and ornamental grasses for seasonal color.
