DC HISTORIC HOME RENOVATION Located in the historic Cleveland Park neighborhood in Washington, DC, this 1905 Dutch Colonial Revival underwent a whole house renovation to update it for modern life. The new mudroom and kitchen addition opens up the floor plan to create light-filled spaces that feel informal and functional. A neutral interior envelope was created to celebrate a large collection of art and furnishings. Photo Credit: Gordon Beall Photography

Originally submitted for the Model Homes category, the judges felt this entry deserved an ARDA in Design Detail. Inspired by the British Revolution, the rustic yet modern style employs a neutral color scheme with various textures. Traditional elements paired with refined furniture and contemporary finishes result in a design inspired by history. Hues of gray as well as rustic wood paneling create continuity through the home. Creating each space to accommodate a family was challenging due to the narrow width of the townhome. An ARDA for Design Details goes to Ashton Woods Designer: Centro Stile From: Roswell, Georgia

With each child having his/her own space to hang their book bag, coats, and accessories there will be no more piles on the floor.

The goal for these clients was to build a new home with a transitional design that was large enough for their children and grandchildren to visit, but small enough to age in place comfortably with a budget they could afford on their retirement income. They wanted an open floor plan, with plenty of wall space for art and strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces to maintain the original garden feeling of the lot. A unique combination of cultures is reflected in the home – the husband is from Haiti and the wife from Switzerland. The resulting traditional design aesthetic is an eclectic blend of Caribbean and Old World flair. Jim Barsch Photography
