4747 Bethesda Avenue

Updates to local zoning ordinances triggered the development of this transit-rich site in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC. The design responds to the unique character of the neighborhood, providing a transition between the commercial and lower-scaled residential context. The design incorporates a stepped series of volumes that address the heart of the district. The primary exterior material, a patinated bronze panel, uses a scalloped shape to create visual interest with minimal means.
