706 Giddings

This “core and shell” renovation of a ubiquitous 1980’s walk-up medical office building with parking below, bridges the residential and commercial scales of its neighborhood. 

Through a significant setback at the upper level, and it’s linear striations the building responds to the residential scale and reflects abstractly the hull of a ship, tying the neighborhood to the maritime spirit of Annapolis. 

The setback itself sponsors a spacious roof terrace which opens from a new penthouse floor. The building fronts onto a vegetated bio-swale which collects both rainwater and visitors. A wood canopy slices from this landscape element across the lobby and into the garage engaging two equally important fronts. 

The warmth of the wood cladding compliments similarly detailed gray linear planks. The wood repeats on the ceiling of each floor orienting visitors as they emerge from vertical circulation.
