MKDA devised a concept that emphasizes Franklin Square’s long-standing hospitality institutions and landmarks at 1300 Eye Street. While 300W focuses more on bringing the park’s canopy of trees inside, 400W establishes a luxurious atmosphere, which feels more like a hotel than a workspace. Upon entering the suite, the combination of a warm color palette, sustainably-sourced wood, and a unique triangular ceiling and lighting pattern sets a welcoming, sophisticated tone for the space.

The suite also includes a number of collaboration and relaxation areas, which adds a level of comfort to the space. A simply furnished lounge with an area rug gives the front of the workspace a distinctive, boutique hotel atmosphere. Across from the lounge is the pantry complete with high-end appliances, a marble backsplash, and bar seating. Notably, furthering the hospitality theme, the team selected framed posters of various national parks to encourage travel to destinations across the country.
