Design Architect National Harbor

DDG was the lead design architect for National Harbor, credited with designing the master plan and design architecture for the vibrant mixed-use project in Prince Georges County, Maryland.

Classically derived and inspired by broad European streets like Barcelona’s Las Ramblas, the avenue, a pedestrian/vehicular boulevard with a central island of kiosks, cafes and bustling pedestrian activity, opens onto a large open waterside plaza. Riverfront marina space features a section of beach and two 700-foot long piers with a canopied pavilion. A graphics/media tower enlivens a beachfront lined with restaurants, cafes, boutique retail options and a waterfront promenade.

The design architecture for the project conveys energy and flair, and blends street-level retail, dining and entertainment options with office, hospitality and residential components to create an authentic urban waterfront community.
