This project involved the complete interior renovation of an existing 1940’s colonial home in Washington, DC. The design offers a reconfiguration of space that maintains focus on the owner’s Asian art and furniture, while creating a unified, informal environment for the large and active family. The open plan of the first floor is divided by a new core, which collects all of the service functions at the center of the plan and orchestrates views between spaces. A winding circulation sequence takes family members from the first floor public areas, up an open central stair and connects them to a new second floor “hub” that joins all of the private bedrooms and bathrooms together. From this hub a new spiral stair was introduced to the attic, finishing the connection of all three levels. Anice Hoachlander www.hdphoto.com

The attic space was transformed from a cold storage area of 700 SF to useable space with closed mechanical room and 'stage' area for kids. Structural collar ties were wrapped and stained to match the rustic hand-scraped hardwood floors. LED uplighting on beams adds great daylight effects. Short hallways lead to the dormer windows, required to meet the daylight code for the space. An additional steel metal 'hatch' ships ladder in the floor as a second code-required egress is a fun alternate exit for the kids, dropping into a closet below. The main staircase entrance is concealed with a secret bookcase door. The space is heated with a Mitsubishi attic wall heater, which sufficiently heats the space in Wisconsin winters.

The attic play space with skylight, original leaning chimney, custom fabricated steel railing, and round window.

Making use of the limited space available, Our Customer has created a simple yet stylish flight that perfectly fits with the rest of the surrounding decor. Blending both the modern with the traditional, we have edwardian turned spindles embedded into a varnished oak Handrail.
