S Street Residence

Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

This modest Georgetown rowhouse thoughtfully integrates historic architectural elements with contemporary design. Situated on a unique corner lot, the home features a rear addition that extends the kitchen and upper bedroom into the side yard, maximizing the use of available space while maintaining the scale and rhythm of the surrounding neighborhood.

Large expanses of glass and strategically placed sun screens provide a balance of openness and privacy, allowing natural light to filter through while framing views of the landscaped side garden. The renovation also repurposes an existing detached garage into a functional studio space, adding flexibility to the property. A carefully designed landscape plan strengthens the connection between indoor and outdoor gathering areas, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and livability of the exterior spaces.
