MULTIFAMILY
We create residential environments that encourage the human spirit to grow and flourish—improving the quality of life of each resident. Our architectural expertise ranges from community master planning, new construction, renovations, sustainable design, and all other aspects of the built environment. This commitment spans a range of project types from residential multi-family buildings, property upgrades and repositioning, and community amenities. A home is more than bricks and mortar. It is the essence of the individual resident interacting with friends, enjoying life in a safe and familiar community environment.
TRENDS
Some examples of different amenities include rooftop pools, outdoor grills, exercise facilities, and community rooms—attracting new residents while making use of underutilized space. Upgrading a property’s amenity package can influence which residential market the property competes in, and the type of renter it attracts.

GASLIGHT SQUARE Gaslight Square is a three-building, five-story residential condominium complex on a full urban block in Arlington, VA. Totaling more than 115 units, the complex comprises flats and two-story, loft-style units, some with access to dedicated roof decks. All units have direct access elevators. The structural system employed allows each unit to have windows on front and rear faces. The result is a stunning blend of indoor and outdoor space in the heart of Arlington—steps from the thriving commercial core and the area’s public transportation system. The location has the key elements people like in a city, with the comforts and privacy of a single-family townhouse combined with the ease of maintenance of a multi-story condominium.

CONSTITUTION After sitting vacant for several years, this 1920s-era hospital in the heart of Washington, DC’s Capitol Hill neighborhood was converted into a luxury apartment building through a complete roof to basement renovation. The renovation and site work will preserve the historic qualities of the building that fit in with the neighborhood’s style, meeting the expectations of young professionals moving into the District. The building has 139 units with a rooftop deck, outdoor courtyard, fitness center, community room, yoga studio, an e-lounge, package delivery system, among other amenities. While challenging, the building’s history gives it some unique qualities like high ceilings, large windows, and a lot of natural light—a fresh open style, and a quality interior environment.

CASE STUDY
AURA APARTMENTS To meet current and future residents’ expectations in a rapidly evolving and growing neighborhood, the management team of Aura Apartments in Pentagon City turned to Architecture, Inc. to reimagine and refresh the public spaces and resident amenities in the twotower community. Across 10,400 sf on the first floor of both buildings, the design team updated residential lobbies, the leasing center, and the resident fitness area. Other areas included mail and package rooms for both towers, and several informal meeting areas in a business center and throughout both lobbies. New furniture and finishes are clean and modern, in cool hues of blue and grey. Artwork throughout adds a pop of color and texture.
