This early-1910's stucco Cleveland Park house in the shadow of the National Cathedral will be transformed by a three-story addition and interior renovation with a modern twist. A sleek kitchen by Bulthaup, sheathed in oak, stainless steel, granite and glass sets the tone for the re-shaped Dining Room and new Family Room that spills out onto a screened porch and open deck. Upstairs, new and old come together in the Master Bedroom suite, which incorporates a wood, glass and stone bathroom.

Extensive full- color 3-d computer models and movies were used to work with the client in developing the design through several iterations. The house and site development involved cooperation with neighborhood political and design groups, and required the approval of the Historic Preservation Review Board. Construction began in April of 2007.
