The First Tuesday Luncheon was hosted by Bonstra/Haresign Architects, organized by MRED faculty member Rob McClennan, and with both David Haresign and Bill Bonstra, members of the MRED Council of Advisors, presenting at their DC office on May 3. Over 20 attendees of alumni, staff and industry professionals were treated to lunch and a presentation of design projects that have served to preserve and transform neighborhoods and communities including their offices on 14th Street.
A notable project was The Studio Theater, a converted car showroom, which has been credited with changing the cultural landscape of the 14th Street Corridor. The Woodley Wardman located in the Woodley Park Historic District is a 39-unit residential adaptive re-use/urban infill project that integrates a contemporary addition behind four restored historic townhouses built by British developer Harry Wardman. This project successfully integrates contemporary design with historic architecture.
