ALTA VISTA
Bethesda, Maryland
The client requested for a facelift of this Bethesda house and to improve the entry stair. The design presents a contemporary sculptural structure that comprises of a steel and glass canopy attached on two dramatic vertical feature walls. A horizontal deck with steel and glass railing perpendicularly penetrates the feature walls to extend the new addition to the other end of the house. The cascading planters and landings accommodate plants and flowers to blend the structure into the surrounding landscaping. A stone sphere fountain softens up the geometric forms with moving water and sound.
