Built in 1896 and located in the shopping district of Georgetown, this project is a typical Washington commercial and residential row building, 22 feet wide and 37 feet deep. The existing building sat on a lot 22 feet wide and 220 feet deep with three story buildings on each side. Our client approached us with the desire to redesign the commercial space and update an existing apartment. The final solution for the project was deceptively simple. The existing building was left intact, with only minor modifications to openings. Entered from the alley, a small elevator/stair lobby leads to the apartment on the upper floors. The two bedroom apartment includes a stair access to a roof deck, taking advantage of panoramic views of the Georgetown roofscape, the Potomac River and downtown Washington.
This project was honored with an award from Builder's Magazine, a Custom Home Watermark Award. |
