K Street Transitway
TYPOLOGY Urban Public Realm
Completion Not Completed, Concept
Location Washington, DC
In response to the DC Department of Transportation’s plans for a new transitway along the K Street Corridor, this project reimagined the future of one of Washington DC’s most significant commercial thoroughfares. With downtown patterns shifting post pandemic, the project aimed to rebrand the corridor’s identity while layering in new public realm interventions to support emerging leisure, civic, and cultural uses.
Working in collaboration with Golden Triangle BID and Gensler, our team developed a placemaking strategy that introduced flexible, people centered design elements: plazas, outdoor seating, shaded gathering zones, and space for public art, all intended to reinvigorate street life and encourage social activity outside of traditional 9 to 5 office hours. The project repositions K Street as a multimodal cultural corridor and helps redefine what Downtown DC can become in a more hybrid, experiential future.
