FROM THE ARCHITECT HICOCK COLE

The Aleck at 1400 L Street transforms a 1980s office building into a sophisticated Class A commercial property designed to attract the next generation of creative professionals and enterprising tenants. Located at one of DC’s busiest intersections, the renovation distinguishes the property among its precast concrete neighbors with a sleek glass and metal façade and a third-floor terrace overlooking the active streetscape.

The jewel box lobby features contrasting curves and dynamic angles to play off the building’s unique geometry and connect with the street. A partial reskin with new glazing extends from the lobby to the penthouse to give the building a polished appearance and ample natural light across floors.
