HICK OK

COLE

Hickok Cole is a forward-focused design practice fueled by creative rigor who have called Washington,
D.C. home for more than three decades. Their impressive portfolio includes award-winning residential,
institutional, and branding projects, and they have designed homes for many leading D.C. organizations,

including National Geographic, the International Spy Museum, and American Geophysical Union’s
net-zero headquarters renovation.

When Hickok Cole outgrew its old headquarters in Georgetown, they found a gem in the Union Market
area known as Press House. Built in 1931, this three-story industrial building originally served as home
to National Capital Press, the company responsible for printing government training manuals. The

building’s most distinctive feature is the five saw-tooth monitor skylights, which at their peak span a
total floor-to-ceiling height of 30 feet, providing an abundance of natural light throughout the space.
