Doing so would give symmetry in heights with the White House itself and the still-being-built ballroom, an official said.
Architect Shalom Baranes revealed the plan at Thursday’s meeting of the National Capital Planning Commission.
“We’re considering the idea of a modest one story addition to the West Wing,” he said.
Baranes said the 89,000 square foot ballroom will be the same height as the two-story White House residence.
Adding another story to the West Wing would make the three parts of the White House complex equal.
“The reason to think about that is so that we would reinstate the symmetry around the central pavilion of the White House. We haven’t looked at it. We have not looked at that at all, yet. We hope to do so in the future,” he said.
