This Penthouse Rooftop renovation for 800 17th Street was focused on upgrading a paved rooftop area into a gathering space for tenants with sweeping views of the monumental core and the White House grounds. The design focused on creating a series of smaller outdoor spaces or rooms with fire features, furniture groupings and the utilization of an existing pergola. As part of the design process, the roof terrace was submitted and approved through the Commission of the Fine Arts with special review in relation to the White House. The design featured four green walls with bold, textured planting flanking eating bar and media alcoves. Our landscape architects designed, detailed and specified green wall feature, planters and all the planting. ParkerRodriguez also provided hardscape consultation for the roof terrace renovations with GTM Architects and strategized how to successfully retrofit the existing paved area.
