Architecture
The Marymount Residential design was developed by SK+I Architecture, who created a stunningly sleek and modern addition to the Ballston skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows are featured throughout the building on even numbered floors, creating beautiful views of the surrounding areas. On the building’s roof is an elegant amenity space, featuring a few fireplaces as well as a spa. The building does well to compliment the architecture of the adjacent building, which is also a part of the Marymount University campus.

Zoning
Mixed Use District: C-O-2.5
“The purpose of the C-O-2.5, Mixed Use District is to provide for limited office building land use and, under appropriate conditions high-rise office building, hotel, commercial and/or multiple-family redevelopment within "Metro Transit Corridors" as designated by the County Board. Appropriate mixtures of use and densities under the terms of this district are to be determined in accordance with the conditional use provisions of this zoning ordinance and shall be consistent with the General Land Use Plan or approved plans for the area. Determinations as to the actual types and densities of uses to be allowed will be based on the characteristics of individual sites in their neighborhood and on the need for community facilities, open and landscaped areas, circulation and utilities”.
History
A sign commemorating the previous building that sat on this location is showcased in a public plaza next to the building. The building that had to be demolished was known as the “Blue Goose,” and while it was very aesthetically controversial, it was a distinct feature of downtown Ballston. The sign, along with four additional markers in the courtyard, is made from salvaged blue panels from the former building. The markers also contain the transportation history of the site, including a streetcar line that used to be a part of the adjacent road.
Building Facades
For a majority of the building’s exterior walls, the material shown on the outside is a brick, varying in color depending on the side of the building. As shown in the diagram below, there is also an air space, insulation, sheathing, and a vapor retarder behind the brick. Another main component of the building’s façade, is the use of metal panels (section shown below). The facades are heavily windowed and feature balcony doors as well.
Curtain Wall System/Glass Types
While Marymount Residential does not feature a ‘true’ curtain wall, the southeast corner of the building comes close to it. The corner is almost entirely glass – only separated by the concrete slabs at each floor. This glass section utilized a System 5500 by EFCO or EQ and has a 2-1/4” intermediate profile.
The following is a list of some of the glass types used around the façades of the building:
-
¼” Clear Float Glass
-
¼” Tempered Clear
-
¼” Wire Glass
-
½” Laminated Glass
-
1” Insulated Clear
-
1” Tempered Insulated Clear
-
1” Insulated Frit
Roofing
The roofing system of the building uses Reinforced Hot Rubberized Asphalt for waterproofing. This is then topped by a layer of insulation and stone pavers. The roof is sloped inwards toward several drains, ensuring that water cannot sit still and puddle. The system is shown on the right:
Sustainability
Marymount Residential aims at achieving a LEED rating of Gold. Many material considerations were taken into account during the planning phase and the building is well on track to receive its desired goal. The following is a list of just some of the strategies utilized by the building:
