A simple front facade consisting solely of ten-foot shuttered French doors radiates elegance in this new traditional foursquare home in Washington, D.C. Featured in Country Living magazine, the airy plan offers spaciousness in a limited-fronted site of the American foursquare house. The goal for the design was creating a contemporary foursquare style house. The family room and kitchen of this American foursquare interior are separated by a glassy built-in rather than walls, encouraging visual connection between the spaces in the four square house. Though nestled in the city, this American foursquare home feels like a classic country home.

A simplified farmhouse aesthetic was the direction chosen for the exterior. The front elevation is anchored by a heavy timber sitting porch which has views overlooking the paddock area. The gabled roof forms anchor the building to the field, offering dimension to the landscape on an otherwise flat site. .

The front elevation mixes light stone with dark vertical siding and deep roof overhangs, which keeps the massing from reading flat and shades the glazing below. Sliding glass along the right-hand bay opens the main living space straight onto the yard. Burbank, CA.

Photographed near dusk, the glow of interior lights behind the casual stone and gravel driveway create a welcoming sense of warmth to enhance a large heritage Oak tree. A touch of metal roofing at the entry and dormers are a modern contrast to the siding and shingle elements.
