TEVIS PLACE

11800 Nebel Street,

Silver Spring, MD

Tevis Place will be a new affordable multi-family housing project near the North Bethesda Metro Station in Rockville, Montgomery County, MD. The 7-story building will contain up to 154 dwelling units, below grade structured parking, on-site leasing office, as well as interior and exterior amenities. The community will contain a range of unit types, with 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom units. All of the units will be designated as Moderately Priced Dwelling Units (MPDUs). The building’s design and site planning will create an attractive urban environment that will attract a range of residents of all ages, incomes, and ethnicities.

The proposed 7-story building will be constructed with 5-stories of wood framing over a 2-story concrete podium, with a below grade parking garage. The architecture responds to the triangular shape of the site with the primary mass aligning with Nebel Street, and two wings flanking a courtyard projecting towards the rear. The primary Nebel Street façade features two horizontally oriented metal panel frames within which a varied rhythm of windows, warm-toned rainscreen panels, and inset balconies create shadows and further activate the façade. This primary mass is accentuated at the main entrance plaza which is set back and is more vertical in orientation with alternating light colored piers and windows with dark gray spandrels.

The building will be designed and constructed to exceed baseline performance codes and will meet the requirements for Passive House US Certification. Other sustainable design features include high geo-thermal heating and cooling, albedo roofing, high efficiency mechanical systems, landscaped courtyard above garage level, EV charging stations, and a solar-ready rooftop.
