This 306,600 m² mixed-use development directly faces Tokyo Station. Within a single structure, it brings together an elementary school, an underground bus terminal, a luxury hotel, offices, and shops serving entirely different user groups – yet all coexist with remarkable coherence. Reflecting Yaesu’s historic role as a convergence point of diverse flows, the project embodies Tokyo’s defining urban condition: the co-presence of diverse functions sustained in productive tension within one unified architectural framework, redefining architecture's role in mediating metropolitan complexity.
The adaptive reuse project transformed a vacant federal-era headquarters into an all-electric office development supporting Washington, D.C.’s downtown revitalization. Once occupied by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, the full-block building was selectively deconstructed to its structural frame. The team preserved approximately more than half of the existing structure while expanding floor plates and adding new levels, a penthouse and modern building systems.
The completed Class A office building contains more than 400,000 sq ft of flexible workplace, ground-floor retail and publicly accessible plazas. The strategy reduced embodied carbon and material waste while activating the streetscape and improving pedestrian connections.
Designed by Pickard Chilton, the New Campus integares offices, amenities, education, and retail with three acres of green space overlooking the James River.
