Project Description
The Edge is a 15-story multifamily tower located on the corner of Edgemoor Lane and Woodmont Ave in Bethesda Maryland. The building punctuates an important corner on Woodmont and serves as a vital link between the two commercial areas of the Woodmont Triangle to the north and Bethesda Row to the south. The public spaces in the building; the lobby and amenities along with 3,000 sf of public gallery space, ensures the continuity of activity along Woodmont and maintains the vibrancy of the streetscape.
The Edge is the second part of a 2-phase building program. The facades are designed to not only visually accentuate the curve of Woodmont, the more significant of the two streets, but to reinforce the fact that while Edgemoor Lane is the more minor of the two streets, it is the location of the main entry to the building. The Edgemoor address reinforces the relationship with the prior building. The two buildings, together with the other buildings on the block, define thru-block public walks that offer alternative connections in the city. The city is rightly delighted with its many examples of these types of connections.
