Wharf Marina sits on the edge of the new District Wharf development in Washington, D.C. The building, designed for hospitality and to host visiting boat crews, is a taught and graphic design set against the backdrop of millions of square feet of new development. It is a new icon to welcome boats to Washington, D.C. and visitors to District Wharf.
It is a new icon that will welcome incoming boats to Washington, D.C. and visitors to District Wharf. The building’s truss is a conceptual extension of the long bench that runs along District Wharf’s waterfront. Here at Water Building 1 the bench turns towards the water, zigzagging between deck and ceiling. Housed inside of the evocative truss is a simply detailed glass box with large column-free interior spaces – providing uninterrupted views towards the Jefferson Memorial, hundreds of yacht slips, and over the water.
