The article discusses the design and construction of Water Building One, a pavilion located at the District Wharf in Washington, DC. The pavilion features a bold steel exoskeleton that adds a unique architectural element to the waterfront development. The design of the pavilion aims to be inviting and accessible to the public, with the bottom of the frame extending as a seating area. The interior design of the pavilion, which houses the Limani restaurant, draws inspiration from Mediterranean seafood and incorporates elements such as starburst patterns and wood finishes. The project faced challenges such as translating Mediterranean architecture into a modern building and managing sunlight exposure. Overall, the design of Water Building One successfully combines the base building and interior design to create an interesting and harmonious space. [Extracted from the article]
