Letter

Dear Mr. Karchem:

In its meeting of 18 September, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed the final design for a new office building at 800 17th Street, NW. Commission members, while questioning the necessity of the glass fins on the south elevation, commended the applicant on the sophistication of the design and expressed enthusiasm for the sustainable design of the lobby. The Commission granted final approval for the design as shown in the drawings and materials received and dated 4 September 2008.

Because the application is pending final zoning review, any subsequent modifications to the approved design must be re-submitted to the Commission for approval.

Sincerely,

/s/Thomas E. Luebke, AIA
Secretary
