Architects from Washington DC based ARCHI-TEXTUAL, PLLC, have lent their expertise to revamp a 1920's house and transform it into a bright, jazzy modern home through full gut renovation & a 2-storey rear addition. Throughout this remodeling, ample care has been taken to preserve the old-world vibe while imparting it a chic contemporary aspect.

The existing old house, sitting in Washington's Brookland neighborhood, was passed down from a grandmother to her granddaughter who opted for the extensive renovation to transform this dwelling into a cozy modern home. While the vintage character of the house was not dramatically altered on the street elevation, the front door, windows & siding were replaced/ modified. Also, the front porch was updated with a cedar trim & wider steps. The rear-side of the home was radically transformed through the addition of a new kitchen-cum-family room on the ground level, and a master suite on the 2nd floor. The smart architectural design did not disturb the original footprint of the house.

In the interior, a new centrally-located stairway became the organizing element of the new house.  The long front hall & compartmentalized spaces were made into an open-plan space. The old kitchen was replaced with an efficient new kitchen opening onto the family room/ lounge, and a new outside deck has been created that can be accessed through an expansive exterior door.

Some revamp, eh? Take a closer look at this homify story!

1. The front porch offers a comfy promise.

2. Let your hair down in restful style at this rear-side deck- chit-chat, dine or simply laze!

3. Central stairway makes a bold style statement.

4. Openly hearty with designer warmth.

5. The modular face of sumptuous sass.

6. The closed fireplace is yet another hint of finesse, no?

7. Blending simplistic nobility with a vibrant pop of modishness.

8. Voguish neutral hues & the essence of modernity adorn humble convenience.
