Reflections on Glass

5 11 2008

Sometimes glass buildings can be monotonous and boring… however this new Class A building at 17th and H Street is anything but that. Located a stones throw from the White House and directly adjacent to the new PNC wonder building that we are getting so excited about, this building looks like a fancy shinny Tetris game… and we love it.

The building has a really nice presence at the street level and it sure does a good job reflecting everything around it. Wouldn’t it be cool if the building always looked like a blue sky? Another photo after the jump…
