Project of the year
Runningdog Architects

Runningdog Architects was asked to remodel a circa-1900, Federal-style row house in DC’s Kalorama neighborhood. The owners requested updated, cohesive interiors in a contemporary style that would reflect their personal taste while creating better flow, access to more natural light and a stronger connection between spaces— including those outdoors.

The most dramatic transformation was to the rear of the house, where French doors now open onto expanded decks off of the new kitchen and a guest room above it. The favorite architectural element is the new stair, which is the home’s core unifying all four floors. With light filtering in through an enlarged skylight, the language of the stair sets the tone, both inside and out.
