REX has unveiled its newest project, called 2050 M Street, a 37,100 square meter premium office building in Washington DC’s “Golden Triangle” business district.
With constraints in building heights and massing in Washington DC’s zoning codes in mind, 2050 M Street “maximizes its façade’s potential to set the new standard of trophy office space within the DC market,” through a glass, hyper-transparent curtain wall without any mullions to impede views.

The façade’s roughly 900 glass panels are curved to a two point nine meter radius, yielding structural efficiency and greater transparency.
“To emphasize the ethereal lightness of the skin, all perimeter columns are pulled in [three point eight meters] in from the façade, and the ceiling is tapered to the depth of the structural slap as it approaches the exterior.”

The building will house CBS’s Washington Bureau, including television studios, amongst other tenants.
