Louvers moderate light on the porch; Weather Shield doors lead into the addition’s sun room portion.
A retired architect tapped McInturff Architects to update his 1920s DC home with an addition that forges a connection to the outdoors. Principal Mark McInturff extended the existing plan with a three-bay structure—two exterior and one interior—incorporating a sun room and porch. Built without drywall or cladding, the building employs louvers to mediate and filter light. “Aesthetically, if not literally,” McInturff notes, “we provided the wraparound porch the house never had, but always wanted.”
