How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

Located adjacent to the iconic Washington Hilton near Dupont Circle, The Hepburn residential building is a harmonious dance between modernity and historic reverence. Drawing inspiration from the hotel’s distinctive architecture, The Hepburn’s glass façade takes on a semicircular form that echoes the existing structure’s signature double arc. The neutral aesthetic of SunGuard™ SN 68 and SN 54 on clear glass contrasts with the concrete gridwork of the hotel, complementing the original architect’s art form while respecting historic context. The result is more than a residential space – it’s a carefully crafted addition that pays homage to a mid-century modern landmark while offering panoramic city views.
