The team selected low-maintenance Boral siding, which resembles wood but is resistant to insects and moisture.
A couple tapped Teass \ Warren Architects and The Block Builders Group to orchestrate a classically modern home in North Chevy Chase, Maryland, where they can comfortably age in place. Designed and built on a relatively modest budget, the home can adapt as the owners’ needs change.
A second side entry, built near grade, can easily be equipped with a ramp. Spacious, airy interiors feature generous circulation areas, wide doors and appropriate framing to accommodate a future elevator. The primary suite is situated on the ground floor, while the second level houses two additional bedrooms and two offices. In all, the finished project met and exceeded the owners’ wish for a “forever home.”
