Inspiration for a transitional home office remodel in DC Metro with white walls

"The Glens was designed as an outdoor entertainment, recreation, and retreat space for the client. The design began with a thorough evaluation of existing structures, vegetation, and topography to provide the clients with a clear understanding of the site and the phaes of the installation. The plan includes siting the wood deck, swimming pool, outdoor pavilion / kitchen area, sports court, gardens, car park, and drainage."

New Auto Motion Shades & Villa cockpit seats

The design form of this sustainable home was inspired by the clients’ interest in gliders with the central kitchen/dining “cockpit” commanding views across the broad rolling paddocks. Curved and layered roofs peel off to either side and the northern aspect opens to winter sun in this cool temperate climate. The dark basalt stones collected from the site provide an excellent heat sink for the Trombé walls used to warm the living rooms in winter. Solar panels and slow combustion fuel stoves augment space heating and provide hot water. Stringybark timber framing and weatherboards were milled from trees on the site and non-toxic/low VOC Bio and Livos paints were used.
