Built in 2016, 1200 Intrepid is a LEED Gold office building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and directly fronting James Corner’s iconic Central Green Park. The building’s double curved, pre-cast concrete façade bows inwards to create a generous urban canopy that responds to the ‘shock wave’ of the park’s circular running track, activity pods and planting vignettes - rippling outwards like rings in water to invade the building’s footprint. Referencing the Navy Yard’s maritime history while providing much needed natural light, a functioning periscope penetrates the core of the building, projecting views of the Navy Yard basin into the center of the elevator lobby. Visitors and employees can admire the ships sitting in the adjacent docks while embracing Central Green Park - connecting the building and its inhabitants to their surroundings.
