12/12 Architects & PlannersThis 1960s brick ranch had several additions over the decades, but never a master bedroom., so we added an appropriately-sized suite off the back of the house, to match the style and character of previous additions.
The existing bedroom was remodeled to include new his-and-hers closets on one side, and the master bath on the other. The addition itself allowed for cathedral ceilings in the new bedroom area, with plenty of windows overlooking their beautiful back yard. The bath includes a large glass-enclosed shower, semi-private toilet area and a double sink vanity.

Donald Lococo ArchitectsDesigned in 1970 for an art collector, the existing referenced 70’s architectural principles. With its cadence of ‘70’s brick masses punctuated by a garage and a 4-foot-deep entrance recess. This recess, however, didn’t convey to the interior, which was occupied by disjointed service spaces. To solve, service spaces are moved and reorganized in open void in the garage. (See plan) This also organized the home: Service & utility on the left, reception central, and communal living spaces on the right.
To maintain clarity of the simple one-story 70’s composition, the second story add is recessive. A flex-studio/extra bedroom and office are designed ensuite creating a slender form and orienting them front to back and setting it back allows the add recede. Curves create a definite departure from the 70s home and by detailing it to "hover like a thought" above the first-floor roof and mentally removable sympathetic add.Existing unrelenting interior walls and a windowless entry, although ideal for fine art was unconducive for the young family of three. Added glass at the front recess welcomes light view and the removal of interior walls not only liberate rooms to communicate with each other but also reinform the cleared central entry space as a hub.
Even though the renovation reinforms its relationship with art, the joy and appreciation of art was not dismissed. A metal sculpture lost in the corner of the south side yard bumps the sculpture at the front entrance to the kitchen terrace over an added pedestal. (See plans) Since the roof couldn’t be railed without compromising the one-story '70s composition, the sculpture garden remains physically inaccessible however mirrors flanking the chimney allow the sculptures to be appreciated in three dimensions. The mirrors also afford privacy from the adjacent Tudor's large master bedroom addition 16-feet away.

Widespread SolutionsThis beautiful one-story brick rancher located in Henrico County is impressive. Painting brick can be a
hard decision to make but it’s a tried and true way of updating your home’s exterior without replacing
the masonry. While some brick styles have stood the test of time, others have become dated more
quickly. Moreover, many homeowners prefer a solid color for their home as compared to the natural
variety of brick. This home was painted with Benjamin Moore’s Mayonnaise, a versatile bright white
with a touch of creamy yellow.

After Ted, project was completed, he sent us the following compliments, "Everything is great. Very neat and the gutters are working."
Brad Cox, Architect, Inc.While much of the home is visible from the street, walls and plantings have been strategically placed to provide some privacy. Large windows and accordion doors integrate the home with the landscape. Black wall sconces mimic the vertical linear elements found in surrounding trees.
