This small infill lot in the Rosemont neighborhood of Alexandria, VA, created challenges during design and construction. A zoning variance was required to add space to the original small bungalow. Raising the height of the second floor was limited at the eaves, but by incorporating scissor trusses, the second floor feels larger and benefits from interesting intersecting ceiling lines. The first floor features an open layout ideal for entertaining and a distinctive pantry with reclaimed vintage stained glass sliding barn doors. The primary suite is spacious, with a large walk-in closet and a freestanding tub. Filled with craftsman details throughout, this custom home blends perfectly in the Rosemont neighborhood.

MODERN ECLECTIC LOWER LEVEL The mission? Design an elevated, effortlessly chic, multi-use space that stands up to March Madness parties, movie nights and sleepovers – but make it edgy and fun. During construction we created distinct “zones”, each with its own purpose, and based on our clients’ goals. The fun part was figuring out how to unify the zones so the open floor plan felt seamless.
