Studios Architecture Institute of International Finance Renovations

GPI provided engineering consulting services for the design of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for the Institute of International Finance’s office located at 1333 H Street, NW.

The project encompassed an interior fit-out of approximately 30,000 sqft across 2 floors, featuring a two-story reception atrium beneath existing skylights with an interconnecting stair, a divisible multi-purpose room, conference rooms, private offices, an IDF/LAN room, a catering pantry, café, phone rooms, and open workspaces.

The building’s existing 11-story atrium had been partially infilled up to the 10th and 11th floors, and the dedicated air handler serving the skylight/atrium required reconfiguration to accommodate the new tenant fit-out on the 11th floor. GPI is actively participating in the building-ide conversation of the new mechanical system which integrates a hybrid design utilizing DOAS VAV boxes for the perimeter and constant volume air handling units for the interior spaces.
