Planning Commission Approves Boxy, Glassy Office Building
By Jason Joist
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 -- In a break with tradition, the DC Planning Commission last night approved a proposed glass-fronted, rectangular office building for the K Street Corridor. When completed, the building, tentatively called One Rectangular Square, will stand at 17th and L, Northwest. But already the plans are drawing worldwide attention.
“Finally, something with 90 degree corners!†exclaimed New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman, “It’s about time that Washington had a structure that reflects the plodding rationalism that the city exudes. This is, I hope, a new direction for a city that was always too, too zany.â€
But not everyone saw it that way. “I never thought we’d see that kind of structure in Washington,†said Eleanor Phibbs, 71. “This city has always prided itself on whimsical, imaginative architecture…and now this!â€
The building breaks more new ground in its choice of tenants. These will include law, lobbying and public relations firms.
