This house was built on a 1/4 acre lot in an established neighborhood. It was designed to be compatible with the streetscape in terms of size, scale and massing of the nearby homes. Cement stucco and stained cedar shingles were used on the exterior. Rain chains conduct water to the ground in lieu of downspouts.

Interior design was kept simple with natural materials and earth tones to emphasize the architectural elements. Stained quarter-sawn oak was used for the trim and flooring. Large casement windows and 8 foot tall exterior doors allow an abundance of natural light to flow in from all directions.

The Town of Warrenton, Virginia, Architectural Review Board presented a "Certificate of Recognition for Significant Achievement in Residential Building Design" to James Hricko Architect as "an example of new construction that complements its surrounding neighborhood yet reflects its own time".
