Architecture studio Assembledge is responsible for the remodel of this midcentury modern home located in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington DC. The scope of this project entails an intriguing renovation of a modernist home that was constructed in 1962.
The owners were seeking a modernist dwelling in a mainly traditional neighborhood and requested a facelift to an existing home, encouraging an indoor-outdoor experience. With its traditional silhouette and neutral colors, this 4,552 square foot house is in dialogue with colonial houses in the neighborhood, yet its design and detailing are contemporary and modern.
The volume of the house is a three-story, charcoal-colored stained brick, mahogany siding, and glass structure.
What We Love: This midcentury home remodel project provides the owners with a completely updated look and a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection. A striking exterior facade of brick, wood, and glass offers fabulous curb appeal, inviting guests into this luminous dwelling. An open floor plan offers clean lines and stylish yet comfortable furnishings for a welcoming atmosphere.

Inside, the kitchen opens into a luminous living space and out to the backyard featuring a fire pit and a screened patio.
The open floor plan along with extensive use of glass floods the house with natural light and allows the interior space to extend its modest footprint into the landscape.
The installation of skylights above the staircase brightens up the entryway and reflects the light off the warmth of the wooden floor.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom and bathroom overlook the outside deck to the south, while the two bedrooms flank the east and west side yards. The basement contains a family room and the gym which spills into the back yard featuring a meandering pathway comprised of concrete pavers connecting the front and back of the house.
The exterior screened-in porch provides the owners with an opportunity to connect with the landscape while sheltering them from the elements of the region.
