Charlie Moore and his team are knowledgeable, organized and extremely talented. I have had the pleasure of working with Moore Architects on a large renovation to our home and later, a new custom home. Their level of professionalism and proficiency was impressive and they have an incredible ability to nurture client communications while responding to our ideas and inspirations in creative ways we never thought possible. I would strongly encourage anyone with the need for an addition, renovation or new home to give Moore Architects a call. **★★★★★ — remargrave, Dec. 2015** > Moore Architects brilliantly designed and oversaw the completion of our new home in Arlington, VA. Charlie Moore had a profound vision for replacing a 1935 Cape Cod with a larger home that was stylish and functional, and which completely fit the environment of the neighborhood. Greg Thomas, the hard-working, insightful, polite, and kind associate architect whom we worked most closely with, was attentive to every detail and eager to make changes in the plans as we discovered new choices that better fit our needs. Over a 21 month period (from September 2013 to June 2015), Moore Architects designed and redesigned and perfected plans, helped us win approval from the Arlington County government, and worked collaboratively with the talented contractor Jim Giallombardo to make sure this once in a lifetime dream became a perfect reality. Greg and designer Jordan Campbell helped us make hundreds of big and small decisions for our new home, and the result is a Craftsman style dwelling that is warm, beautiful, spacious, and well-thought out with incredible attention to detail. Charlie Moore and company give you the kind of artistic, personal, and caring service that is simply priceless. From intimate bedrooms to a coffered ceiling great room to luxurious baths to interesting stair landings and built-ins, their work was impeccable, and their teamwork with Jim made the absolute most out of a small lot. ## Selected projects - [Italianate Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/italianate-bungalow-pj-vj~7026206) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 39 - Description: The goal of this project was to create an age-in-place home for a retired, empty-nester couple. The program for the house places all of the primary functions for daily living on the main level, with additional entertaining, bedroom and support spaces are on the upper and lower levels. The architecture of the exterior creates a visual connection to the southern bungalow style with an Italianate influence found in 19th-century New Orleans houses. The white clapboard, standing seam metal roof, and… - [Crimson Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crimson-lane-pj-vj~7026049) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - Description: Linden is a beautiful spot in Virginia, along the stretch of mountains and valleys just to the East of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The homeowners, beginning a new phase of their life, are starting a vineyard and winery and were therefore in need of a forever home to overlook their business. The house site was selected for its ideal topography, rich soil and magnificent views of the mountains. The house is positioned halfway up the sloping property to elevate it above a nearby highway, minimizing t… - [Hillside House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillside-house-pj-vj~6669097) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: Many homes in the DC/VA area are torn down to make a home livable for the modern family. The Hillside House is the perfect example of what an Arlington homeowner can do with their simple ranch style home. This renovation looks to be a completely custom home but was built entirely from the existing framework of the old structure. Our firm works hard to preserve buildings, wherever we can, in order to minimize cost as well as disturbance to the land around it. The owners wanted a home that gave ea… - [Monroe House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/monroe-house-pj-vj~162433) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 11 - [Porter Street Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/porter-street-bungalow-pj-vj~66336) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 12 - Description: The Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C boasts some of the most beautiful and well-maintained bungalows of the late 19th century. Residential streets are distinguished by the most significant craftsman icon, the front porch. The Porter Street Bungalow was different. The house, known affectionately as ‘the bunker’, was in serious need of a significant renovation and restoration. The original bungalow form was carved from the front bulk of the home and a rear addition facilitated the ex… - [A House for Four Boys](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-house-for-four-boys-pj-vj~2205183) - Location: Falls Church, VA - Photos: 13 - Description: The owners of this 1911 farm house love their home and its location in the heart of Falls Church. However, with an expanding family, including four young boys, it required some major renovations and upgrades to the property. The challenge was to introduce both typical and unique program requirements to the house without compromising its character and scale. The house, with its two-story front massing, gable roof and large front porch, is welcoming and comfortable on the site. At all cost, this w… - [House on 4th](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-on-4th-pj-vj~5884418) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Little Island House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/little-island-house-pj-vj~1030723) - Location: Falmouth, MA - Photos: 24 - Description: Located high on the Cape Cod shore, overlooking Little Island and Buzzards Bay, this new single-family home replaces a standard 1950's one story rambler. The architecture controlled the huge change in grade and created a house with unobstructed views of the wide western expanse of water. State seashore codes do not allow the trimming or removal of mature trees, nor major changes to existing grades. The former house had been sited low on the property hidden behind mature trees, with no view of th… - [Potomac Avenue Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/potomac-avenue-residence-pj-vj~837549) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 14 - Description: Located in upper northwest Washington D.C., this 1920’s bungalow sits on a street lined with a variety of single-family homes with a view overlooking the tree-lined slope that plummets down to the Potomac River and across to Virginia. The front porch of the original house was still intact, but the house behind had been chopped into two separate dwellings, with a later rear addition that bore no resemblance to the character of the bungalow and effectively cut the house off from its rear yard. A y… - [Lakefront Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-residence-pj-vj~65703) - Location: Falls Church, VA - Photos: 15 - Description: Waterfront lots along private Lake Barcroft are rare finds, so when this property became available, the clients took the house as it was: a weathered symbol of the 1960’s split-level. The architects sought to exploit the existing street side/water side split personality of the residence. The landscaped street face of the house, containing entry, garage and guest rooms, retains the scale of the original. The rear of the house, with living and dining rooms, and master suite, explodes into the wood… - [Urban Four-Square](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-four-square-pj-vj~70241) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 13 - Description: While cleaning out the attic of this recently purchased Arlington farmhouse, an amazing view was discovered: the Washington Monument was visible on the horizon. A badly needed renovation and addition of this residence was organized around a grand gesture reinforcing this view shed. A glassy “look out room” caps a new tower element added to the left side of the house and reveals distant views east, to the National Mall. The new work defers to the original structure, stepping back to maintain a re… - [House on Towlston Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-on-towlston-road-pj-vj~2729759) - Location: Great Falls, VA - Photos: 18 - [Cedar Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cedar-street-pj-vj~162483) - Location: Alexandria, VA - Photos: 11 - Description: The owners of this 1925 Arts & Crafts Bungalow loved the curb appeal of the existing house, which sat in the shadows of the historic Masonic Temple in Old Town Alexandria. However, after a quick walk around to the back, the beautiful detailing of the front morphed into a bad 1980’s addition that attempted to match the original house but failed in functionality and execution. The key details added to the addition were the large, flared overhangs with beautiful exposed sculpted rafter tails and br… - [Crossroads Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crossroads-cottage-pj-vj~697706) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 14 - Description: The homeowners of the Crossroads Cottage had one request: Please get rid of our cape cod and turn it into an arts and crafts bungalow. This simple, yet daunting, request required the kind of renovation that rendered the original home completely unrecognizable. The arts and crafts style structure were created by eliminating the existing second floor. The rear of the home was deconstructed, taking it back to its original rectangular footprint, one that had been added onto room by room over many ye… - [Easton Waterfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/easton-waterfront-pj-vj~6591572) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: Vacation homes on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay abound – offering weekend respite for busy residents of Washington DC and surrounding Virginia and Maryland suburbs. So, how to make something special out of a familiar theme of a gathering place for nuclear family, grandparents, and friends on a large waterfront property? The answer came from discussions with the owners: accommodate family and friends but with a modern attitude by keeping things clean, simple, and welcoming. At the end o… - [The Pond House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-pond-house-pj-vj~2205289) - Location: Falls Church, VA - Photos: 19 - Description: The homeowners of the Pond House were already residents of the neighborhood, but were looking for a location with more property to make their forever home. With the purchase of two adjacent lots, they were able to build their dream home and outdoor landscape. The layout was driven by the need for a first floor living style for the empty nesters, with more privacy towards the front of the house, but wide open views towards their rear terrace, pond and gardens. The home is made up of so many other… - [Cherry Street Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-street-residence-pj-vj~75958) - Location: Falls Church, VA - Photos: 14 - Description: A simple one-story white clapboard cottage sat on a narrow straight street with many older homes, all of which meeting the street with a similar dignified approach. Though the owners fell in love with the charm of the original house, their growing family presented an architectural dilemma: how do you significantly expand a charming little 1920’s Craftsman style house that you love without totally losing the integrity that made it so perfect? The answer began to formulate after a review of the ho… - [Virginia Avenue Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/virginia-avenue-residence-pj-vj~66937) - Location: Alexandria, VA - Photos: 13 - Description: “Can you make this house livable for us?” This was the seemingly innocent request posed to the architects by the new owners of this house. It was a cartoon dwelling, with an asymmetrical structure blemished by several poorly constructed additions that would feel at home in a coloring book. Despite these difficulties, the building was strangely interesting – like an underdog you felt compelled to root for. So, it started with the basics… The house was stripped down to its simplest saltbox shape.… - [Arlington Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arlington-bungalow-pj-vj~111201) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 9 - [Woodland Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodland-residence-pj-vj~138794) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 10 - Description: The renovation of the Woodland Residence centered around two basic ideas. The first was to open the house to light and views of the surrounding woods. The second, due to a limited budget, was to minimize the amount of new footprint while retaining as much of the existing structure as possible. The existing house was in dire need of updating. The new plan is organized around a soaring new cathedral space that cuts through the center of the house, containing the living and family room spaces.
