Project Overview

Contemporary Home in Bluemont, Arlington

Rooted in the proportions of the classic Colonial home, this Arlington residence offers a sophisticated reinterpretation of a familiar architectural language. Refined massing, minimalist detailing, and a contemporary material palette create a home that feels both contextual and forward-looking. Expansive glazing, generous porches, and elevated balconies dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, inviting abundant natural light, framed views, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape.

The great room at the rear of the home brings together the kitchen and family room in a light-filled space designed for everyday living and entertaining. Expansive sliding glass doors open to the outdoor terrace and frame views of the backyard, strengthening the connection between the interior and landscape. Anchored by an oversized island, the kitchen is complemented by a walk-in pantry and direct access to the formal dining room, allowing the home to transition easily between casual and more formal gatherings.

Living Beyond the Walls

Generous porches and balconies extend the living spaces beyond the walls of the home, creating inviting outdoor rooms that encourage outdoor living while offering sheltered spaces to relax, gather, take in views of the surrounding landscape, and engage with neighbors

Light and circulation

At the center of the home, the staircase serves as both a focal point and the organizing element of the floor plan. Framed by expansive windows, it fills the interior with natural light and transforms a functional space into one of the home's defining architectural features.
