D/CITY W H A T ’ S N E W, W H A T ’ S N O W, W H A T ’ S N E X T ISSUE No.7 WHAT’S HAPPENING? If your New Year’s resolution involved the word “detox,” digital or otherwise, we don’t blame you. Already fallen off the wagon and in full-on “retox” mode? We’re still cool. Instead of side-eye or shade, we’re throwing you something totally different: a guide to powering down, turning up, and discovering your newest, best self in the North End of Shaw. haw & S DC 14thington h Was E E R F d oo orh ghb ort i e N Rep A milestone on the passage from IKEA to adulthood, West Elm (1728 14th Street NW; 202.986.2165) has finally opened a second D.C. location on 14th Street. The two-level décor mecca offers contemporary furnishings and accessories (some from local makers), plus design services and in-store crafting events — some assembly required. Hunting for the perfect gift? Look no further than the new Salt & Sundry (1401 S Street NW; 202.621.6647). Like its sister shop at Union Market, the Logan Circle spot offers a curated array of home décor, barware, personal items, and edibles for a well-stocked home. With regular visits, you’ll find yourself in the giving mood more often. RE THE DE TOX E RISSUE D/CITY EATS Beau Thai (1550 7th Street NW; 202.536.5636) debuts a second location with an expansive dining area, full bar, outdoor patio, dedicated takeout counter, and weekend brunch. Fortunately, that growth spurt hasn’t diluted the authentic flavors; instead, you’ll find numerous new dishes on the menu, like whole flounder, steamed sea bass, larb ped, and noodles with a heady Sriracha kick. IN THIS ISSUE Get your fashion fix & more @DCITY style At the start of each new year, we commit ourselves to the same impossible task: hone our personal style, pare down to just the basics, and purge, purge, purge until our closet is Coveteur-worthy. This year, instead of setting ourselves up to #fashionfail, we’re setting our sights on attainable outfits — flip through for the photo play-by-play.

But you — and your closet — deserve better. Take a cue from these style mavens and hit the reset button with color, texture, and layers. Here’s to getting back on track!

I WANT MY SKIN STRETCHED SO TIGHTLY OVER MY FACE THAT MY CHEEKBONES COULD CUT GLASS LIKE SO MANY DIAMONDS.” Does falling off the detox wagon count if it’s more of an effortless roll onto a stack of delicious cheeseburgers? TOTALLY hypothetical question. MATHEW RAMSEY, FOUNDER OF PORNBURGER.ME & SELF-PROCLAIMED FOOD PORNOGRAPHER STRETCH RELIEF Spending eight-plus hours at a desk can leave you feeling tightly wound, with tense muscles and a solid case of mental fatigue. But you don’t have to finish your day with enough knots, kinks, and cramps to warrant a two-hour massage — instead, use our handy guide to stretches and simple exercises you can do at your desk. Now that's what we call flex time. JENN TISDALE, COMIC / IMMORTAL BEING ONE DAY I’M “ EATING CLEAN AND THE NEXT DAY I’M HAVING CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR DINNER. I TRY TO KEEP IT BALANCED, BUT I’M PRETTY MUCH JUST EATING WHAT I WANT. CALL IT A ME-TOX! ” ALLY MUMM, COMMUNITY MANAGER AT WEST ELM & HOME STYLING GURU DETOX VS RETOX ... “I like to think that I’m ‘detox’ and have survived the holidays in a healthy place, but we both know I like wine too much. The gym is calling and I’ll obey... after this pizza.” Neither! I cringe when I hear the words ‘detox,’ ‘cleanse,’ etc. I prefer the old adage ‘everything in moderation, including moderation.’ AMANDA MCCLEMENTS, OWNER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF SALT & SUNDRY HOLLY GARNER, MUSEUM PROFESSIONAL & CAT HERDER “I LIKE TO STRADDLE THE MIDDLE… SALADS, JUICING, AND LOTS OF SLEEP, DOUSED WITH GOBS OF CHIPS AND GUACAMOLE, MIXED WITH A HEALTHY SERVING OF WHISKEY.” LORI PARKERSON, OWNER OF REDEEM “In terms of alcohol, etc, I’m currently ‘detox.’ After a while, the clarity really grows on me — waking up feeling rested and getting stuff done just feels...good. As far as nutrition, I’m kind of ‘retox.’ Eighty-five percent of my food intake is sourced from cheap GrubHub deliveries while working from my studio. (Shout-out to Manny & Olga’s for their late-night delivery service.)” SKYLER JAVIER, DESIGNER AT NATIVEDANGER 4D/CITY 4D/CITY TEAMBUILDING TWIST THE CORPORATE CLIMBER OPEN OFFICE, OPEN CHEST THE EPIC WRIST RELEASE THE GLUTE REBOOT Sit near the edge of your chair; keep your back straight and imagine the top of your head lifting up toward the ceiling. Inhale and twist your upper body and midsection to the left, reaching your right arm across your body to grip the back of the chair. Let your left arm relax. Breathe deeply and relax your back muscles; deepen the twist if you can. Hold for 10 deep breaths; repeat on the other side. Stand facing the side of a sturdy stationary chair. Place your right foot flat on the seat of the chair and walk your left foot back so that you're in a lunge position. Keeping your chest upright, bend your left knee to lower it toward the ground. Gently push your hips forward and feel the stretch in your left hip. Hold for 10 deep breaths and repeat on the other side. Sit near the edge of your chair and interlace your fingers behind you, with your palms facing your back. Lean forward until you can lift your arms and rest them on the back of the chair. (If you can't reach the top of the chair, just grip the sides of the chair back.) Inhale into the stretch; exhale as you relax your shoulders. Hold for 10 deep breaths. Stand with both palms placed flat in front of you on a flat surface, such as your desk or a table. Now inverse your hands so that your fingertips are pointing toward you; your thumbs should be facing out and pinkies facing in. Keep your palms in contact with the surface and spread your fingers wide to stretch keyboard-tense muscles. Hold for 10 deep breaths. Sit near the edge of your chair; lift your right leg and cross it over the left so that your right ankle is resting on top of your left knee. Sit tall and straight, feeling the stretch in your right glute and hip. Hold for 10 deep breaths and repeat on the other side. VICE DEPARTMENT RESOLUTION REVOLUTION Sticking to a New Year’s resolution is an exercise in self-control — but who’s to say that falling off the wagon has to be a bad thing? If you’re going to abandon your mission, we recommend making better “bad choices.” To help, we’ve collected some indulgent recipes from local hotspots. As for staying on the straight and narrow? There’s always next year. CARAMEL PANNA COTTA WITH BACON PEANUT BRITTLE BLACKSTRAP AND SWITCHEL By J.P.

A: Because there are a lot of different lifestyles in a city, we designed a range of apartment types — some bedrooms are inboard, some have lots of windows. The gardens on the roof can be used to grow vegetables and herbs; there’s also a cinema screening room and a fitness center. There is a good package of amenities, so the buildings can accommodate a lot of different types of living. The newest buildings shaping the skyline in the North End of Shaw are the residential properties at Atlantic Plumbing and 2030 8th Street, both of which bear the signature architectural flourishes of New York-based architect Morris Adjmi. Known for Brooklyn’s Wythe Hotel and the 837 Washington building near the High Line, Adjmi brings a deep reverence for history and neighborhood identity to his work. We caught up with him to discuss his creative process and what makes his new D.C. projects so exciting. Q: How is Atlantic Plumbing different from your other projects to date? A: The project was very different, besides just being our first in Washington D.C. To begin, the neighborhood around Atlantic Plumbing has historic elements, but it is not technically in a historic district. In some ways, this allowed more freedom than we usually encounter working with historic sites that are in landmarked districts. As a result, we had more liberty with the design language for the new buildings. Q: What kind of role do you think the development will play in the evolution of the neighborhood? A: The neighborhood is in the midst of a transition. A number of surrounding sites will be developed in the coming years, including another phase of the Atlantic Plumbing project that we are currently working on. AP’s introduction of new retail and residences to the area will serve as a backdrop for this anticipated change. Additionally, the subsidized artist workspace on site will hopefully stimulate new creative activities and encourage more visitors to the area. The next phase of the project includes a semi-private street that will provide a new outdoor gathering space for the neighborhood. We hope that all of these programs at AP will act as a catalyst for change — like the Wythe Hotel was in Williamsburg or the Theory Building was in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District — to bring new energy to the neighborhood. Q: What do you hope tenants will appreciate/enjoy most about living at Atlantic Plumbing? A: Both buildings have the advantage of enormous windows without the ‘glass box’ aesthetic that normally accompanies buildings with this much glazing. Residents will hopefully enjoy the tremendous amount of natural light within the apartments, as well as the distinctive design of the buildings’ exteriors. The buildings also have generous amenity spaces, including the planted roof deck gardens. These outdoor spaces are unique to what is typically available in D.C. apartment buildings and include amazing views of the city. SOCIALIZING ON A SHOESTRING WIN $500 !

A: Typically we begin our design process by looking at the project’s neighborhood and history. Our designs aim to be compatible with the area’s historic fabric and character, but not by copying the past. The buildings reinterpret historic, architectural language in a form relevant to contemporary needs and technologies. SHARE YOUR DECOR STYLE, e Atlantic Plumbing renderings CONTESTS th ANSWER FACE THE MUSIC FO QUESTION Another new experience was designing two buildings that are across the street from each other. Our goal was to create a dialogue between the two buildings, and between the buildings and the neighborhood. We did that with an industrial aesthetic for each building that acknowledges the area’s history. On the larger building, we have the large x-bracing, which is a structural element but it also gives the building a sense of scale. On the smaller building, there’s the brick pattern, which breaks up the slick, glasscube look and references all the brick buildings in the area. We wanted each building to have a strong identity, but also fit within the neighborhood. THINK YOU CAN DESIGN THE PERFECT QUIRKY-YET-CUTE GREETING CARD? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
