About This Project

The Large Addition to this 1950's Colonial Revival house in Arlington, VA, exemplifies a harmonious blend of classic architectural style and modern functionality. The project involved the thoughtful construction of a two-story rear wing addition that enhances the living space while maintaining the home’s original charm. This addition features an expansive new kitchen and a spacious family room, designed to accommodate both entertaining and everyday family life. Careful attention was paid to the design choices, ensuring that the new elements seamlessly integrate with the home’s historical aesthetic. The exterior of the addition mirrors the traditional Colonial Revival characteristics, utilizing brick and siding materials that reflect the original structure. Large, energy-efficient windows were strategically placed to provide ample natural light and create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the new living areas. The roofline was designed to match that of the existing home, preserving the overall silhouette while adding a contemporary twist. Inside, the new kitchen boasts modern appliances, ample counter space, and custom cabinetry that complements the timeless style of the home. The family room, located adjacent to the kitchen, serves as a gathering space for family and friends, featuring elegant finishes and an open layout that encourages interaction and connection. Custom millwork and high-quality craftsmanship throughout the addition highlight the attention to detail that defines this project. The completed addition not only enhances the functionality of the home but also elevates its overall curb appeal, making it a standout in the DC Metro area. This project successfully marries the charm of the past with the comforts of modern living, creating a beautiful and practical space that meets the needs of today’s homeowner while honoring the architectural heritage of the property.
