13Rosslyn Sector Plan: Penthouse Design
Sector Plan guidelines for architectural
composition of towers and caps include
the following guideline:
“Buildings tops within view of the
public Observation Deck should be
designed so as to create a
thoughtful, complementary
foreground view for the monumental
core and other key vistas, minimizing
any adverse visual impact. Sculpting,
transparency, and other design
strategies to minimize the height and
size of penthouses should be
considered in order to better
preserve views as described on
pages 170-175 of the plan.”
