Design and Renovation
521 Fifth Street,
Washington DC

A commission to renovate the interior space of a one hundred ten year old brick row house located in Washington DC’s Capital Hill. The design strategy was to use materials common and affordable to create a contemporary and unique space. Budget was of course a top concern, so materials such as phenolic plywood, lucite, and concrete are all used together to create a modern and sensible space. Issues of materiality, light, color and sound were all equally considered design factors.
