Arlington Green Home

The vision for this custom home in Arlington, Virginia  was to encompass a family history in their former home and make a place to continue making new memories. The design process was unique, as the clients had twenty plus years experience of living on the site in their previous home. The clients’ history and enthusiasm with their site aided in orienting the celebrated views, controlling and concealing others. Most of the old home was dismantled for salvageable materials to make way for the new one. Fireplace bricks and a stair newel from the old home make an appearance in the new home.

The new home is made up of three rectangular volumes with shed roofs and boasts a HERS rating of 57, a geothermal HVAC system, and photovoltaic solar panels returning power to the grid. Creating the large expanse of South oriented shed roofs allowed for the large solar collection. Working with the Green Home Choice program sponsored by Arlington County, Virginia helped to keep track of energy saving and green building decisions 

Tongue and Groove Vertical Cedar Siding clads the two story living room volume to take advantage of views of an adjacent park, while the rest of the home is board and batten  cement board panel siding.  Built for longevity, the design incorporates a main level bedroom with accessible shower so the clients could occupy the main level only in latter years when navigating the stairway becomes too cumbersome.

Four Square Renovation

The intention of the addition on this 1930's Four Square brick home was to connect the house to the newly added swimming pool. The hipped roof of the original house had concrete roof tiles so in addition to creating complimenting roof lines, the roof material had to tie into what was there. For this reason, standing seam metal roofing was chosen and adds accents at the first floor sunroom addition that is adorned with white trim and panels to make a "garden room" and at the second story bay window projection. Orienting the large double hung windows to overlook the pool from the renovated family room and master suite allow the family to enjoy their yard views year around. The white painted brick ties old and new together seamlessly.

FOUR SQUARE RENOVATION

Craftsman Reinvention

Originally a 1950s brick and stone one story house, the home had undergone several eras of additions including an awkward second story with aluminum siding.  Anticipating the needs of a growing family, but wishing to make a cohesive home, we worked closely with the client to reflect a more transitional style.  Relocating the dining room to a one story addition served to open up the kitchen and adding a master suite atop a garage provided another bedroom and storage space.  The detailing of the home took on a more craftsman look as a way to work with the palette of several exterior materials (brick,stone,wood, and cement board siding). A front porch and front dormer made the entry sequence more apparent and added to the curb appeal.
