Maritime Museum The goal for this project was to create a unique space for the people of Old Town Alexandria along the waterfront. The main focal point of this space is an excavated ship found on the site which represents the city’s rich Maritime history. The brick facade reflects the historical style found in Alexandria. Upon entering the museum the visitors are greeted with the suspended skelton of the boat and are able to experience it from all three levels.

The Glass facade allows for a light filled environment also providing views of the C and O Canal and Potomac River. The library also has a rooftop patio and garden, which can be used for events or as well an additional reading space.
