Dupont Circle Rowhouse Addition

We completely gutted and renovated this historic DC rowhouse and added a rear addition and a roof deck, accessed by stairs to an enclosed structure. The client wanted to maintain a formal, traditional feel at the front of the house and add bolder and contemporary design at the back. We removed the existing partial rear addition, landings, walkways, and retaining walls. The new 3-story rear addition is across the entire width of the house, extending out 24-feet. Our original front entry design did not have a planter. However, the HPRB insisted on a planting area to maintain that original element of the house. The charcoal gray color at the trim and the front door had to be approved by HPRB. HPRB also had to review and approve our new code-compliant steps and railings to the front door.
