This design study by the architectural firm Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer
Associates demonstrates the firm's sensitive adaptation of the
Willard's mansard roof and its details as part of the Willard hotel
renovation and addition project begun in the 1980s. Carol Highsmith's
photograph of the mansard roof under construction underscores the
position the Willard Hotel, an historical monument itself, holds
in Washington's monumental core.
