Within the nation’s capital, District Wharf is a 27 acre mixed use neighborhood containing various buildings, restaurants, music venues, piers, and parks along the Washington Channel. Open space design of the second and final phase involved completing the mile long waterfront promenade, the Grove plaza and expansion of Eleanor Norton Holmes Park. Situated over structure and at the center of Phase 2, the Grove brings tree canopy and custom cast concrete benches to the urban center offering shade and a place to meet under the shade of Kentucky coffeetrees. 

Parker Row, a two block retail street, Maine Avenue, and the connective mews between buildings are designed with the pedestrian experience in mind, using contiguous paving and mixed seating to make space more easily shared by people and cars while reconnecting visitors and residents to the Washington Channel and Potomac River waterfronts.
