The Aston

1634, 14th Street Northwest, Washington, DC, United States

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2013
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
This former undeveloped site is located in a long-neglected historic district in the nation’s capital, remaining dormant since the 1968 Martin Luther King riots devastated this area. This residential neighborhood was significantly transformed in the 1920’s into a thriving commercial district along the extended 14th Street Trolley Line. With the proliferation of the automobile, 14th Street became fondly known as “Automotive Row”, with limestone clad showrooms replacing Victorian era residences. The area remained dormant for over 30 years; The Aston is a catalyst for its third era of redevelopment.
The Aston condominium, a contemporary 32-unit building located within the Greater 14th Street Historic District, is formed and patterned after the commercial buildings along Washington’s “Automobile Row”. Architecturally, its symmetrical 14th Street façade with butterflied bay windows is topped with a highly visible and directional metal ‘crown’ visible day or night. Secondary and tertiary massing elements and angled bay windows step down in response to the historic residential buildings to the east. This design notably integrates larger contemporary architecture into traditional land use parameters.
