WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects has begun two new projects in Washington. The District Department of Transportation and the planning office have asked the firm to create a gateway into the city that will improve the pedestrian-to-vehicle balance in neighborhoods along North Capitol Street. The planning office has also tasked Ehrenkrantz with creating a master plan in the Mt. Vernon Square district, which is bordered by M, G, 5th and 12th streets. The plan will blend the growth that has sprung from the new convention center with the Shaw historic district.
