Der Scutt Architect Engaged for 1615 L Street Renovation Project
Spitzer Engineering, LLC has engaged Der Scutt Architect as its design consultant for the renovation of 1615 L Street NW in Washington, DC., a 13 story office building.
Der Scutt Architect is removing the façade from the bottom three floors and replacing with a new low-E energy efficient curtain wall. The project includes a structural glass entrance, fritted glass and stainless steel canopy and Jet Mist granite pavers. The lobby design features new cherry wood paneling, ornamental glass and LED lighting.
“1615 L Street is a unique office building due to its prime location near the White House and existing architectural features including an interior atrium. Our design complements the existing glass wall and interior finishes while modernizing the building for the future,” said Hagen Scutt AIA, Senior Architect and Project Manager for Der Scutt Architect.
Construction is slated to begin summer 2010.

Construction to Begin on Voorhees Hall Façade Recladding Project
A $30 million façade renovation of Voorhees Hall in Brooklyn, NY is slated to begin construction in Spring 2010. The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) and the New York City College of Technology (CUNY) have engaged Der Scutt Architect as their design consultant for the renovation of NYCCT’s Voorhees Hall, an eight story academic building adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge.
The unstable brick cladding of the existing Voorhees building is in poor condition and shall be completely removed and replaced with a new curtain wall while the building remains open for operations. The distinctive architectural curtain wall incorporates low-E energy-efficient glazing, and shadow boxes to add shade and visual interest in a grid that emphasizes the technology of the curtain wall. Window openings, which had been blocked off in a prior renovation, are to be re-opened to bring natural light to classrooms, offices, and laboratories. A trellis screen following the curtain wall motif unifies the uneven penthouse elevations and will be lighted at night. A fritted, freestanding glass-and-aluminum screen entry provides a visual reference point and serves as an identification beacon for the college. The low-rise building will be re-clad with a ventilated rain screen tile façade providing superior building envelope protection and additional energy savings. Additionally the lobby and plaza are being renovated.
“Having completed years of careful documentation of existing conditions and close coordination with the needs of NYCCT, this extremely complex renovation is ready to begin construction” said Hagen Scutt AIA, Senior Architect and Project Manager for Der Scutt Architect.
“The design projects a new image of high technology and enhances the credibility of NYCCT’s long history as a superior technical college.”
