Forest City, a leading real estate owner, operator, and developer, based out of Ohio, commissioned WINMAR and Lehman Smith McLeish architects to develop their new headquarters located in the burgeoning Navy Yard, SW neighborhood on the waterfront of Washington, DC. This beautiful renovation of the historic Lumber Shed building brings high-end finishes and a keen eye for detail to an office setting. The design embraces the original concrete frame and wood trusses, left exposed to exemplify earthy accents, and a steel-and-glass staircase with lighted flooring provides for an open, airy office that’s both modern and inviting.
