Terrain Work is excited to reveal the landscape design for Capitol Crossing Center Block in Washington D.C. The landscapes of the Capitol Crossing Center Block each express the unique qualities of the geological transect found in the region beginning with Appalachian Plateau, cutting through the Blue Ridge and Piedmont regions, and ending at the Coastal Plains that surround Washington D.C. These outdoor spaces create a new civic realm in a mixed-use development above Interstate 395 with retail, a residential tower, and boutique hotel designed by Ennead Architects.
