Studio Twenty Seven Architecture is collaborating with the Catholic University School of Architecture's Advanced Fabrication Studio to design a new entrance for our office. The design will feature the installation of a digitally fabricated construction that will define arrival, illuminate passage, and announce spatial opening. We are describing the construction as a "figurative space translator." It will solve the current unregulated condition of transitioning from darkness to light and constriction to openness. The program, design, and operation of this "figurative space translator" will have dialectic references that will tie back into the firm's design philosophy. The CUA students will design, fabricate, and install the piece during the Spring 2012 semester.

Studio Twenty Seven Architecture awarded new bus terminal at Union Station

Union Station, the District's majestic train terminal designed by Daniel Burnham, is slated to become the central location in the City for regional and national bus service. In a shrewd planning decision, transportation officials have decided that Union Station should be the hub for bus as well as train service in and out of the City. Studio Twenty Seven Architecture has been retained by the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation to design a waiting area, ticketing office, and facilities for customers using the different bus lines. The intent is to create an experience of design excellence for bus travelers consistent with that experienced by train passengers. The fast track design and construction project will utilize modular design and construction principles.
