RESIDENTIAL PORTFOLIO

Private Residence
Arlington, Virginia

 

Before: This brick rambler was indistinguishable from thousands of others like it in northern Virginia. But the owners loved the location and the mature trees, so they turned to Bass Architects to help them turn their existing house into their dream home.

The expansion up and out used materials that were compatible with the original house, so the new work appears to be an intergral part of the house. The expanded second floor includes a master bedroom and home office.

The family now enjoys the outside living space as well as the inside, including this extensive patio overlooking the verdant backyard. The large windows bring in tremendous natural light throughout the house and expose many rooms to the lovely view.

The new kitchen and family room addition gave the homeowners much-needed space at the heart of the home. The multiple French doors to the patio make this sunny dining area blend seamlessly with the patio and backyard for casual entertaining.
