Originally built in 1955, this modest penthouse apartment typified the small, separated living spaces of its era. The design challenge was how to create a home that reflected contemporary taste and the client’s desire for an environment rich in materials and textures. The keys to updating the space were threefold: break down the existing divisions between rooms; emphasize the connection to the adjoining 850-square-foot terrace; and establish an overarching visual harmony for the home through the use of simple, elegant materials. The renovation preserves and enhances the home’s mid-century roots while bringing the design into the 21st century—appropriate given the apartment’s location just a few blocks from the fairgrounds of the 1962 World’s Fair.

A two-bed, two-bath condo located in the Historic Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC was reimagined with the clean lined sensibilities and celebration of beautiful materials found in Mid-Century Modern designs. A soothing gray-green color palette sets the backdrop for cherry cabinetry and white oak floors. Specialty lighting, handmade tile, and a slate clad corner fireplace further elevate the space. A new Trex deck with cable railing system connects the home to the outdoors.

Il progetto di un appartamento al secondo piano di un piccolo condominio nella prima periferia urbana ha previsto un cappotto esterno per migliorare l'efficienza termica degli appartamenti ai piani superiori. Inoltre introduce alcuni pannelli fissi e scorrevoli in okumè all'ultimo piano che, ritmando la facciata, dialogano con l'ingresso del ristorante a terra e, risvoltando l'angolo, si pongono in relazione con il vicino santuario. L'idea del progetto di ristrutturazione interna del secondo piano invece è quella di creare nello spazio a giorno un nuovo affaccio con luce zenitale; infatti un grande cono di luce svasato e inclinato illumina lo spazio più interno della casa. Le porte che danno accesso verso le stanze laterali scompaiono nei muri. Un caminetto bifacciale crea un gioco di trasparenze tra due ambienti e un'atmosfera accogliente durante l'inverno.
