Arlington 老宅新生命，绿色环保现代别墅设计

I added to this typical Arlington 1940’s house a new one story structure that hosts a new steel stair. We connected the four floors and opened the first floor plan configuration without modifying the footprint of the existing residence. The new metal roof enhances the existing brick colors and gives a new ”presence” to the house. A new modern fenestration was added to the first floor and to the side brick wall to take advantage of the surrounding views. All floors have been redesigned and the house has been upgraded to the new Energy Star standards, the project showed a 41% improvement before and after construction.  photos by Chris Spielmann
