Nestled in the heart of Washington DC’s Palisades, this full renovation and addition transforms a beloved family home into a serene urban retreat. The design reflects a dialogue between sophistication and simplicity — clean architectural lines softened by natural textures and a muted, tactile palette. Every space was reimagined to balance function and emotion: to be lived in, not just admired. The intention was to create a modern sanctuary that feels personal and grounded, one that honors the home’s history while embracing the rhythm of contemporary life. Through thoughtful detailing and a pared-down aesthetic, the result is a place that feels quietly luxurious — calm, inviting, and deeply connected to the people who inhabit it.
