The Summit

The I-270 scenic overlook project embodies the rich history of the Monocacy Battlefield, seamlessly weaving the themes of layered circulation and thresholds to evoke a dynamic interplay between the contrasts of intensity and serenity. This design narrative reflects not only the dramatic historical events tied to the site but also the tranquil beauty of its natural surroundings.

The overarching concept of The Summit is rooted in the theme of climbing and rising, inspired by the site’s natural topography and the metaphorical journey toward an ultimate destination. This ascending movement is both physical and experiential, guiding visitors through a curated path of discovery and reflection.
