TENLEYTOWN RESIDENCE
Tenleytown, Washington DC
The client asked for a private world to herself – separate yet connected to the existing house. Due to the narrow and limited lot size, the new design utilized up to 99+% lot occupancy to create two 9 ft ceiling levels with a double story living room and a 8 ft ceiling basement. The dramatic contrast between the style of new addition and the existing makes no concession towards differentiating the new from the old. The addition contains a master suite on the second floor with a balcony looking down to the living room open to below. A new kitchen defines and complements the new living space on first floor.
