美国国家海港是华盛顿南部波托马克河沿岸的混合型社区。由于靠近主要的旅游景点，海港成为度假和会议的首选地，在这里人们可以领略到华盛顿的城市风情。Sasaki提供了

设计方案

，包括社区的外景改造、主要建筑的设计和路牌标志的设计等。

和乔治敦,安纳波利斯,巴尔的摩内港等地一样，国家海港也很注重街道、广场和公园设计的多样性。国家海港的入口处称为“国家通道”。“国家通道”在设计时考虑了“移动”和“到达”的感觉呈现。开车从这里经过的人、街道两侧的桦木、鹅卵石的地面还有各种图案的灯光交织在一起，宛如阿尔波特·帕雷的艺术雕塑，充满了艺术气息，美丽宁静而令人陶醉。

横穿海港的主要通道受巴塞罗那兰布拉大街的启发而设计，称之为“美国之路”。路边绿树成荫，路边还有各式各样的喷泉图案，城市雕像和精致的店铺。街道也注重道路指向方面的选色和纹理的搭配，比如喷泉广场旁前面就是天然的沙滩。这里周围遍布零售商店和餐馆，既能满足人们平日生活的需求，也能举办盛大的节日活动，同时也促进了人与人之间的交流和沟通。

National Harbor is a mixed-use community on the Potomac River just south of Washington, DC. While conveniently located near key tourist sites, National Harbor is a resort and convention destination that offers an alternative to the urban experience of Washington proper. Sasaki provided urban planning and landscape architecture for principal exterior spaces of the community, architecture for key buildings, and graphic design for signage and wayfinding systems.

Evocative of the region's great urban places—such as Georgetown, Annapolis, and the Baltimore Inner Harbor—National Harbor has a great diversity of connected public open spaces, including streetscapes, plazas, and parks. The vehicular entrance to National Harbor, called the National Gateway, is designed to provide a sense of transition and arrival. Motorists pass through a monumental gateway portal featuring a site-specific sculpture by Albert Paley, cross a series of cobblestone paving bands, and pass under the dappled light of a densely-planted birch grove before arriving at the community's urban street grid.

A major pedestrian thoroughfare called American Way, inspired by Barcelona's famed Las Ramblas, establishes the primary spine of the community. Defined by an allee of majestic plane trees, this unifying open space showcases multiple iconic fountains, numerous pieces of public art, and a series of small-scale vendor kiosks. The color and texture of the avenue's paving sets the stage for its terminus: a waterfront plaza that steps down to a natural sandy beach along the Potomac. Both this avenue and the waterfront plaza are designed as flexible spaces, capable of accommodating the activities of daily life and hosting major festivals. These key urban spaces are framed by retail storefronts and restaurants, promoting both street activity and urban interaction.
