Waterfront Tower Named Best Mid-Atlantic Condominium Conversion By Delta Associates

We're proud to announce that Waterfront Tower has been selected as the Best Mid-Atlantic Condominium Conversion by Delta Associates. Waterfront Tower competed against many other communities but stood out for its design, features, amenities!

Waterfront Tower was originally designed by historic architect, I.M. Pei. This 123-unit luxury high-rise residence was then developed by The Bernstein Companies with sales from The Mayhood Company. In 2009, Waterfront Tower was updated by Torti Gallas & Partners using sustainable building practices and “green” materials in order to create a healthier living space for occupants while having a smaller impact on the environment.

Amenities include a complete fitness center, entertainment lounge, front desk attendant, social center, and even personal storage units and natural green spaces. And with an onsite Zipcar, you’ll have all of Washington at your doorstep.

Waterfront Tower is also celebrated for the incredible location and convenience our homes offer:

• Right Next to Metro: The Waterfront SEU Metro station on the Green Line is located next door to Waterfront Tower.
• Brand New Safeway: This brand-new grocery store offers incredible convenience for the residents of Waterfront Tower—there’s even a Starbucks located inside.
• Arena Stage: Washington’s most prominent regional theatre Arena Stage has been renovated and expanded and will be open for new shows in the coming season.

Meet Waterfront Tower’s Style Visionary Elyse Linowes

Elyse Linowes is an experienced Washington, D.C. interior designer and President of Linowes Design Associates, Inc. As the interior designer of Waterfront Tower’s common spaces, such as the lobby, hallways, fitness center, social center, and entertainment lounges, Elyse played a critical role in helping determine the style and feel of our building’s transformation. We asked Elyse to tell us more about herself and her design aesthetic, and share her thoughts about designing for spaces like Waterfront Tower.

Please tell us about your influences and your experience in the field of interior design.

“I have been designing interior spaces for over twenty-five years, and I have always been involved in the arts and painting. I went to college for business but then attended a graduate program for a degree in interior design. Some of the greatest influences on my design are architecture. Everywhere you look there is something of beauty to inspire you. European designs are also a wonderful influence. The natural habitat and surroundings of location provides great motivation for the design scheme of a project.”

What special issues do you face when designing and decorating for a condominium space?

“The overall aesthetic is most important. We focus on differentiating our designs to stand out and differ in distinction from the competition. We put special attention on the unit finishes themselves, but the amenity areas are vital. Waterfront Tower’s multi-purpose room, fitness center, cyber lounge, lobby and outdoor lounge areas provide an extension of living space to the homeowners as well as providing a sense of community.”

How do you successfully deal with smaller living spaces?

“Smaller and limited living space is prevalent in urban developing today. We focus on space planning to ensure every square foot is being maximized. We always try and maximize the image and feeling of spaciousness but at the same time provide important elements that create a livable and functional space.”

How is the Southwest D.C. community reflected in your designs?

“Southwest D.C. is fresh and exciting at this point in time. There is a whole new community being built that will vitalize and energize the area. Our designs were meant to be inventive and creative to reflect the area around and the exciting development happening. Southwest D.C. & Waterfront Tower’s style is young, hip, cool, and progressive!”

THE MAN WITH THE VISION: Meet Waterfront Tower's Interior Designer

Waterfront Tower interior designer and studio owner Bill Carroll has nearly four decades of experience helping prospective buyers feel the vibe and visualize the possible style options in a new living space, whether it be a condominium, townhome, or single-family home. Carroll founded Model Home Interiors in 1980, and in October the firm will celebrate their 30th year serving the Washington regional market. Here Mr. Carroll share his insights into the interiors his firm designed for the models at Waterfront Tower in a little Q&A session.

What’s the benefit of living in a place like Waterfront Tower?
“Condominiums may offer a little less space, but you have the views, the location, and all the amenities; you’ll be closer to work, entertainment, and other sought-after attractions.”

How did Waterfront Tower’s location influence your designs?
“Our design team wanted to bring vitality and freshness to the building. Because Waterfront Tower is in the middle of neighborhood that is undergoing a dramatic revitalization, we wanted to reflect the new sophistication of the area with cool, bright, and lively palettes and design components. The neighborhood is youthful and playful, adventurous and confident. One needs to have a sense of these things to live in an up-and-coming area.”

What can you tell us about the design for the new model at Waterfront Tower you just completed?
“On the walls a standard group of grays is being used because gray is the new neutral. This shade, even silver, is really popular on the runways right now. We are also adding a good deal of white in the upholstery, bedding, and window treatments. And, you’ll also find accents of coral and ‘Waterfront Tower’ green.”

What about the model’s furnishings?
“This model’s floorplan offers one of the largest living spaces. The look of the model is soft, comfortable, and contemporary—all with clean lines. And, with dark woods on the cabinets there will be accent tables with chrome, glass and mirrors.“
