Franklin Square, Washington DC

About the design:

Project Description This holiday installation at Franklin Square was designed to transform a modern corporate lobby into a warm, immersive winter environment while maintaining a refined, architectural aesthetic appropriate for a high-profile urban setting. The design features two 14-foot statement trees placed prominently in the main lobby, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows in downtown Washington, DC. Styled in a “Midnight Luxe” palette, the trees incorporate deep greens, rich reds, and subtle metallic accents. Matte and glossy ornaments, poinsettias, berry sprays, pinecones, and ribbon were used to create depth and visual interest without overpowering the space. Adjacent to the lobby, a custom winter scene anchors the design with layered alpine and birch trees at varying heights. Faux snow, lanterns, and sculptural woodland elements ground the vignette and add a natural, woodsy feel that contrasts with the surrounding modern finishes. An illuminated garland installation lines the glass overlook railings, visually connecting multiple levels of the building and extending the design throughout the space. On the concourse level below, a complementary 10-foot tree showcases the same color palette and materials for continuity. All elements were custom styled using Vickerman’s high-quality artificial trees, florals, ornaments, and decorative accents, selected for durability and visual impact in a high-traffic commercial environment.
