Portner Flats is a multi-phased project redeveloped garden style affordable housing apartments with a 96 unit apartment. Developers Somerset and Jonathan Rose teamed up to expand affordable housing supply and to keep current residents within a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. 1441 U Street is a mixed use development extending the commercial U Street Corridor. The 11 story project includes 288 apartments and 15,000 SF of retail. This project was developed and is being constructed in conjunction with Portner Flats.
I served as staff architect, working under a project manager and with a project designer. Personal responsibilities included coordination between structural and MEP engineers and the landscape architects, corresponding with building envelope and accessibility consultants, and assisting with all phases of design from schematic design through construction documents and the commencement of construction.
