Work in Progress, Washington DC

The Piano Nobile inspired design of this stunning residence creates a striking sense of opulence from the street. Ascending the grand steps to the main living spaces evokes the grandeur of a stately home, a design ethos successfully achieved in Washington, DC. Currently under construction, this timber-framed dwelling boasts a hipped roof with a balcony that provides outdoor space for the occupants to enjoy.

The classical front elevation features grey timber sliding sash windows, elegantly framed by a simple off-white render that reinforces the home’s classical style while hinting at the contemporary aesthetic of the rear. In contrast, the rear of the property embraces a modern design, showcasing grey aluminium sliding sash windows that open seamlessly from the open-plan kitchen and living areas to a covered seating area. A skylight enhances this space, flooding it with natural light and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Beyond the covered area lies a meticulously designed pool and lush gardens, continuing the luxurious design theme throughout the property. The timber-clad garage, complete with additional accommodation above, adds to the home’s elegance, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This carefully crafted dwelling embodies the perfect blend of classical and contemporary design, promising a lifestyle of sophistication and comfort.
