SK+I Architecture is participating in DC CANstruction again this year! CANstruction is an annual fundraising event held at the National Building Museum during which volunteers design and build structures out of canned food to raise money and awareness for hunger in their communities. After the Build Day, the structures are on public display for one week and are then deCANstructed and donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. Our team has created the concept shown below of Scoop from Bob the Builder for this year’s Construction Tools & Equipment theme! We would be appreciative if you considered donating to this cause and support the SK+I Architecture team in our goal to purchase 1,788 cans.

Opening Upton! Last month SK+I celebrated the grand opening of Upton Place at 4000 Wisconsin with Donohoe Development Company, Aimco, and other project partners. This project represents the incredible opportunity to transform a recently vacant office building into a vibrant, mixed-use, residential and retail development. The transformation of the building was conceived through razing the existing office building, down to grade, while retaining most of the existing below grade parking garage. Upton places brings 689 residential units atop 100,000 SF of retail space, including a 55,000 SF Onelife Fitness a 30,000 SF Lidl US grocery store. Donohoe Construction Company Placemakr

I had a fascinating experience at SK+I Architecture’s office this week where we used VR to tour one of our multifamily projects currently in the design process. It truly felt like I was physically transported to the building where I was able to feel the grandeur of the lobby and the spaciousness of the bedroom windows. Even the virtual edge of a balcony and accidently standing on the virtual kitchen island gave me butterflies! Using VR to review our designs seems vital to the development process. It's not just about seeing the spaces, it's about feeling and living them before they're even built. What are your thoughts on using VR in design processes? Have you had a similar experience? #virtualreality #vrrealestate #vrarchitecture #futurerealestate #realestateinnovation MRP Realty
