Duplex Development

Retained by Urban Edge Development to create a two-unit condominium in an existing one-story brick row home, this project looked to maximize the historic charm of the front elevation and create interiors that were contemporary and light filled.  A center stair enabled light to be brought deep inside the upper unit while a new contemporary bay window allowed for ample light in bedrooms below.  A roof top deck at the front of the upper unit allowed for sensitive retention of the existing cornice-work of the historic facade while providing great views of the H Street Corridor nearby.
