Cathedral Avenue

This residence was developed as a speculative project in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Washington DC. The concept of this residence is based on a central element: the distribution hall. This hall is in the center of the house, and its half cylinder shape creates a central axis from which all other rooms emanate. Skylights in the ceiling bring daylight to these rooms. The hall accommodates a monumental oak stair, the only vertical circulation in the house. Because of its location, this hall creates a horizontal axis which divides private from public rooms on the first floor.  The house follows the elegant English Tudor style of the neighborhood.
