Mather Studios is an historic apartment building directly opposite the front entrance to Washington, DC's Main Library, designed by Mies van der Rohe.  Cunningham + Quill Architects were enlisted to preserve and restore the original terracotta facade, and to design a new entrance lobby and canopy.  Drawing from the immediate context, I designed the canopy and lobby to complement the glass and steel vocabulary of the Library while giving the neo-gothic language a modern interpretation. This project received a DCAIA award of recognition.
