Tucked within a row of 19th-century brick façades in D.C.’s historic Georgetown neighbourhood, Monos bridges traditional masonry with minimalist design.
The softly painted brick storefront forms a quiet threshold between the bustle of M Street and the meditative calm within. At its centre glows a circular light installation – a radiant, sun-like orb that draws visitors inside and anchors the space.
Floor-to-ceiling mirrors dissolve the room’s edges while a sequence of sculpted arches unfold with gentle rhythm towards product displays. Their repeated curves, grounded yet ethereal, draw inspiration from kiln architecture and vernacular masonry vaults.
With a material palette of neutral tones, concrete, millwork, and metal, Monos Georgetown is deeply atmospheric – turning retail into ritual.
