THE PROJECT
My clients wished to transform a dated Arlington Colonial into a ‘new’ modern home. A polygonal lot combined with the diagonal placement of the existing house required creative solutions to comply with the required street setbacks. This was accomplished through a full gut and renovation of the existing home coupled with modest additions on all four sides of the structure.
Moving the existing kitchen to a front addition was the key to creating a large family room and dining space within the existing structure. Upstairs, a dedicated homework zone separates the kids’ rooms from the owner’s suite, which overlooks the back yard.
Biophilic design is evident in the materials selected for the project, including hand-fired clay tile, oak floors and millwork, and hand-woven reed grass light fixtures. Builder: Snead Custom Homes & Reed General Contracting. Interior Design: Ame Gold Design
