The following is the first in a four part series of projects which began a five month long design process.

    The project consisted of intense analysis of a piece of urban property, approximately 9 acres in size, which was controlled by the District of Columbia Office of Planning. The site was bounded by New York Avenue to the north, 9th st. to the east, 11th st. to the west and H. st. to the south.

   The parcel’s size gave the city a unique opportunity to create an intervention that could rejuvenate the community.

  The first phase of this project began with the design of a series of public parks. The goal was to create one romantic style garden and one classical style garden.
