Architecture
"In recent years the Union Market neighborhood has been reclaimed as a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. We wanted the forms of new buildings and public spaces to capture the eclectic spirit of the area. The interconnected forms of the buildings and pedestrian spaces are enhanced with a variety of industrial materials, trees and plants, colors and textures, and outdoor art and recreational elements."
Sacha Rosen, Architect
Interior Design
"The Gantry delivers a rare and inspiring sense-of-place, dynamic energy and community. Vibrant colors, bold patterned fabrics, modern graphics, leather and organic textures and rugs combine for an outstanding and stimulating sense of style."
Danielle Fox, Interior Designer
The Artwork at The Gantry
"The gantry sculpture represents a deconstructed version of the rail gantries. The scale is specifically designed to create a framed view of trains passing by the site and for train passengers arriving in DC to view The Gantry Plaza". Don Hoover, Artist
