CitizenM Washington DC NoMa

Award Criteria

Architectural Excellence

Nestled in the NoMA section of Washington, D.C. the citizenM is a shining example of what happens when modern architecture forges a bridge within the community. The inviting glazed façade with modern architectural features leads you into a welcoming family room with comfortable options for conversation, dining and drinks with friends. The efficient yet well-appointed rooms, fully furnished and fit out by VBC prior to delivery, are a perfect home away from home. Wifi, shopping, meeting rooms and world class art all work together to make this a superior destination.

With a fully glazed façade, and steel framed modules, this project is a beacon of what volumetric modular construction can and should be. Volumetric Building Companies was able to leverage VMX, its time proven furniture capabilities to ensure the finest quality and highest attention to detail, durability, and cost effectiveness. In addition, the high tech ipad driven room management system ensures that every guest is comfortable while utilizing the most sustainable solutions for lighting, HVAC and water control.

Cost Effectiveness

The cost effectiveness of this project is derived from the additional value to the customer. The speed and efficiency to which this project was completed, afforded the customer to begin utilizing the space much more quickly than possible with conventional on-site construction. Pairing that with VBC’s integrated furniture capabilities further increased the value of the proposition while keeping costs efficient.
