Capitol Hill welcomes its newest retail project at Seventh Avenue and Sherman Street, offering several new restaurant spaces.
Surrounding residents will be attracted to the single-story walkup spot that creates a place for diners to engage with the bustling area. Unique architectural details make this design a one-of-a-kind addition to the block: metal awnings juxtapose the warm coreten steel, which sets the tone for the single-story building amid high-rises in the rapidly expanding neighborhood.
Its many operable openings create motion that complements the vibrancy of the area. The details are pulled together by the board-formed concrete, which gives the simple form of the building a decidedly unique feel.
Galloway successfully addressed the need for a distinctive design to attract restaurant patrons in the eclectic Capitol Hill neighborhood by creating a one-of-a-kind building design and adding a unique, colorful mural on the back of the building. Additionally, while awnings were desired as part of the design, easement restrictions prevented using fixed awnings. As a solution, Galloway’s architecture team created custom awnings that can be opened and closed to satisfy jurisdictional requirements.
