LEO A DALY’s Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas design featured in Sleeper magazine

“Renovations have touched every corner of the property, with new villas designed to weave together the textures, colours and materials of the Texas landscape. Design elements inspired by indigenous Texas flora and fauna include cool, crisp blues that reflect the opulence of Texas Topaz and the bountiful surrounding lakes, and porcelain tile that nods to the earthy tones of sage and cactus. Touches of leather in warm brown and amber tones evoke the nostalgia of the property’s past as a ranch, with stitching details reminiscent of saddle craftsmanship.”

“The modernization of the dominant neo-Georgian style is understood as the architectural manifestation of how public policy evolves,” it says. “Both architecture and public policy inherently require traditional foundations and new thinking. In particular, at this point in time, public policy requires more transparency, which here translates directly into architecture.”

American Architecture honors 20 Massachusetts Ave NW in Washington, D.C.

LEO A DALY’s 20 Massachusetts Avenue NW redevelopment project has earned an American Architecture Award for 2024. This prestigious accolade celebrates cutting-edge design in the U.S. and recognizes the year’s most innovative architectural achievements, making it the highest honor in the domestic building awards circuit.

The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, alongside The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies awarded the project in the renovation category.

“20 Mass revitalized a key area of D.C. and offered a blueprint for future adaptive reuse projects in the district,” said LEO A DALY Global Design Principal Irena Savakova. “This award affirms the importance of this project to our community and our profession.”

For the 29th year, this lauded awards program shone a spotlight on architectural artistry and pioneering designs. From a shortlist of 500 nominations, a jury of distinguished architects and designers selected over 150 groundbreaking projects for recognition this year.

The celebrated redevelopment, commissioned by The RMR Group, transformed a former federal office building into ‘20 Mass’ — an urban mixed-use destination. Designed to harmonize with the historic avenues of Washington, D.C., the project included a rejuvenated streetscape with retail spaces, a premium hotel, and Class-A office accommodations, all tied together with shared amenities and crowned with a green roof and penthouse.

Project Architect Janki Bhatia said: “Adaptive reuse of this office building provides economic growth for a once under-utilized federal building. This is a win for our city as we face the task of doing more with less. That we won the highest design award at the same time shows we can do urban repurpose with excellence.”

Architects Irena Savakova, Andrew Graham, Janki Bhatia and Shanshan Yin led the LEO A DALY design team, ensuring the structure respects and enhances its storied location’s vistas while providing modern functionality and aesthetic appeal.
