Water Building II, part of Phase 2 of The Wharf development in Washington, DC, is a 22,000 square foot structure located within the $2.5 billion, 3.2 million square foot waterfront neighborhood along the Washington Channel.  It hosts maritime services and retail on the ground floor, with a restaurant/bar on the second level.  Positioned between The Grove and M Street Landing, it embodies a modern take on a utilitarian pier building, utilizing traditional materials.  The design caters to various programmatic uses and emphasizes views on the Washington Channel.  Its facade features wood fins and zinc-coated steel panels, offering a refined appearance on the wharf side and a more relaxed look on the water side.  The green roof extends M Stree Landing and provides an attractive rooftop vista for nearby high-rise occupants.
