While revamping a vintage dwelling in Chevy Chase, Maryland, Donald Lococo addressed the home’s exterior when he and his team conceived a 221-square-foot addition on the front of the house. “We followed the rooflines of the existing gables, taking architectural cues from the size, language and scale of the historic neighborhood,” Lococo notes. Brick siding was replaced with HardiePlank; beneath a Dutch Colonial-style gable, the front entry commands attention with additional windows and a series of columns.

"The architect’s creativity and knowledge of history were well-served here.”
