Moore Architects together with Liz Mearns | Imagine Design has renovated this ranch-style home nestled into a hillside of Arlington, Virginia. Many homes in the region are torn down to make a home livable for the modern family. “This hillside house is the perfect example of what a homeowner can do with their simple ranch-style home,” states Moore Architects.

This renovation looks to be a completely custom home but was built entirely from the existing framework of the old structure. The architects work hard to preserve buildings, wherever they can, to minimize cost as well as disturbance to the land around them. Continue below to see the rest of this sensational home…

The owners wanted a home that gave each member of the family their own — places to relax but several public spaces to spend time together.

Above: The light-filled family room feels roomy but cozy with several seating areas, including an expansive, custom window seat which immediately became a favorite spot for homework and weekend reading.

Above: The window bench was designed to be 1′-0″ high to allow for a thick, mattress-like cushion to be placed on top. The depth of the bench is 2′-9″

Above: The walls and trim are Chantilly Lace OC-65 by Benjamin Moore.

What We Love: This ranch-style home was beautifully reimagined to showcase bright and airy, family-friendly living spaces. The new layout is open and spacious with a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection. Interior spaces provide a relaxed atmosphere with spaces for gathering and spaces for “alone” time, such as window nooks to read and connect with nature. Overall, the project team did a great job of remodeling this home for comfort and relaxation.

Above: Unexpected, vibrant upholstery raises inherited heirlooms to more modern times.

Above: This young family loves to read, so the designer created a special space by the upstairs bedrooms with custom bookshelves and extra-deep seating. The dramatic, woven light fixture adds ambient impact to vaulted ceilings.

Above: The best part about a home office is people can spend their day surrounded by things that they love. Layer. Be whimsical. Show your personality.

Above: The owner’s bedroom was designed to be calming, inviting, and comfortable. The walls in this space are painted in Classic Gray by Benjamin Moore. One of the architect’s favorite paint colors. 

Above: Wallpaper, coordinating penny tile and fantastic fixtures give this powder bath a wow factor.

Above: The screened porch provides a complete extension of the open family room and dining area. The large glass folding doors tuck back to make the space flow easily from interior to exterior.
