A plan to redevelop Dupont Circle’s Patterson House got the design go-ahead from the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) on Thursday.
In the current plan, the building will contain about 90 furnished micro-units coming in on the bigger end of “micro” at 350 square feet. They would not have parking, and residents would share first-floor space including the building’s old ballroom.
Developer SB-Urban, which has yet to finalize its purchase of the property, is working with architect Hartman-Cox on the project. The exterior will be clad in three types of glass, with a back addition built of a light-colored brick. The use of glass earned HPRB members’ praise on Thursday.
“I like this a lot,” said HPRB member Joseph Taylor, who added that the glass would complement the Patterson House’s white exterior. “It allows it to be big, tall but less imposing than it really is.”
The big test for the project will come next week when developers seek a parking exception from the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Another micro-unit project in the area was stymied by that board last month, mostly because of a desire to construct a project with no parking spaces.
