Description:
Located on the edge of the bustling Ballston Corridor neighborhood, the 650 N. Glebe Rd. project
provides workforce housing that is walking distance from major retail and commercial centers,
a metro stop, and on the same block as a grocery store. Its architectural aesthetic takes cues
from its context in terms of materials and colors, but does not try to replicate any historical style
precedents instead it merely follows a rational expression of its function. The building hugs the
street edge in an L-shaped configuration following the geometry of the site which shelters a small
internal courtyard for its residents. Leasing and amenity spaces are naturally lit by floor-to-ceiling
glazing in their double-height volume at the corner, while mezzanine units wrap the remaining
perimeter of the ground floor with 5 levels of stacked flats above. All parking is provided in 2
subterranean parking levels.
