In general, I’m in agreement with staff comments about overhangs and do have concerns about the effect on streetscapes. I’m particularly concerned about the transition to Gateway Park and agree that the architecure should reflect the approach of the adjacent buildings. In terms of height, less density on the NW Tower would provide more dramatic transition with S. Tower. The landscaping on the 6th floor podium looks great; can we get a view of how that would look to pedestrians on the street?
ReplyAgree13 days agoTower heights, location and spacing are appropriate. Balcony overhangs are ok. Is the overhang on 19th more of a cutout given how far back the street level face is from the build-to line? I’m not overly concerned with the lack of step backs on 19th given that I think there is a significant step back across the street. I’ll want to know more about how the nw corner overhang looks.

The overall design fits in with Rosslyn. I like that the Langston Blvd facade has a horizontal component because it delineates the nw tower as separate. I do not like the blind panels along 19th St. They are contrary to the plan and don’t fit with the rest of the building’s design.

I applaud the use of biophilia as a design principe. However, other than the design, the project doesn’t scream biophilia, and I’d like to see more design elements, particularly along Langston Blvd. as it transitions to Gateway Park. I strongly support staff’s comments about the use of green walls. New technology makes them an actual design feature (see Clarendon Sq. project at 3033 Wilson Blvd.) The private terrace design looks great; can we have similarly attractive elements in public space?

Rosslyn remains a food desert, and increasing access to grocery options is crucial for residents. While we acknowledge the challenges of attracting grocery stores due to location constraints, we strongly encourage developers to incorporate alternative solutions to improve food accessibility. Ideally, a Trader Joe’s or similar grocery option would be a significant community asset.
