Moore Architects, PCWhile cleaning out the attic of this recently purchased Arlington farmhouse, an amazing view was discovered: the Washington Monument was visible on the horizon.
The architect and owner agreed that this was a serendipitous opportunity. A badly needed renovation and addition of this residence was organized around a grand gesture reinforcing this view shed. A glassy “look out room” caps a new tower element added to the left side of the house and reveals distant views east over the Rosslyn business district and beyond to the National Mall.
A two-story addition, containing a new kitchen and master suite, was placed in the rear yard, where a crumbling former porch and oddly shaped closet addition was removed. The new work defers to the original structure, stepping back to maintain a reading of the historic house. The dwelling was completely restored and repaired, maintaining existing room proportions as much as possible, while opening up views and adding larger windows. A small mudroom appendage engages the landscape and helps to create an outdoor room at the rear of the property. It also provides a secondary entrance to the house from the detached garage. Internally, there is a seamless transition between old and new.

Studio IndustrielleThe program consists of a detached Guest House with full Kitchen, Living and Dining amenities, Carport and Office Building with attached Main house and Master Bedroom wing. The arrangement of buildings was dictated by the numerous majestic oaks and organized as a procession of spaces leading from the Entry arbor up to the front door. Large covered terraces and arbors were used to extend the interior living spaces out onto the site.
All the buildings are clad in Texas limestone with accent bands of Leuders limestone to mimic the local limestone cliffs in the area. Steel was used on the arbors and fences and left to rust. Vertical grain Douglas fir was used on the interior while flagstone and stained concrete floors were used throughout. The flagstone floors extend from the exterior entry arbors into the interior of the Main Living space and out onto the Main house terraces.

Donald A. Gardner ArchitectsThis sprawling ranch features a family-friendly floor plan with a rear located garage. The board-and-batten siding is complemented by stone, metal roof accents, and a gable bracket while a wide porch hugs the front facade. A fireplace and coffered ceiling enhance the great room and a rear porch with skylights extends living outdoors. The kitchen enjoys an island, and a sun tunnel above filters in daylight. Nearby, a butler's pantry and walk-in pantry provide convenience and a spacious dining room welcomes family meals. The master suite is luxurious with a tray ceiling, fireplace, and a walk-in closet. In the master bathroom, find a double vanity, walk-in shower, and freestanding bathtub with built-in shelves on either side. An office/bedroom meets the needs of the homeowner while two additional bedrooms are across the floor plan with a shared full bathroom. Extra amenities include a powder room, drop zone, and a large utility room with laundry sink. Upstairs, an optional bonus room and bedroom suite offer expansion opportunities.
