As you approach the pea-gravel motor court of this home, with its painted-brick exterior and striking mansard roof, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported to the outskirts of Paris. Twenty years ago, a couple who’d lived in the French capital for many years returned to Virginia and hired Dalgliesh Gilpin Paxton Architects to design a house in Charlottesville for them that would reflect their love of classic Gallic architecture. In 2020, the stately, 17-acre property passed to a new owner, a single mom of three who helms her own interior design business in town. To ready the home for its next chapter, she knew just the architects to tap for a few updates.

“We’ve been in business since 1933 so it’s not uncommon to get those calls,” says Robert Paxton, one of the firm’s principal architects. “It’s fun to go back to something we’ve done and give it life for a new family.”

Returning to the scene gave the firm a chance to revisit the project with fresh eyes. Originally, the 3,700-square-foot home featured a central section connected to a garage on the left and a trellis-topped terrace to the right. “Essentially, it was three parts of what would normally be a classical five-part composition,” Paxton explains.

Given the opportunity to design a more balanced façade, he and project architect John Peterson conceived a substantial right wing to mirror the home’s left side, bringing symmetry and harmony to the configuration. The 2,340-square-foot addition would house the primary suite, an office and guest quarters on the main level, and a small gym and future bunk room on the second floor for eventual visiting grandkids and extended family. The pergola would move to the back of the house just off the kitchen; new terraces would bolster indoor-outdoor connections and unify the exterior spaces.

The original core of the five-bedroom house also saw updates. While the European-style galley kitchen had served as a pleasant reminder of time abroad for the previous clients, it was too cut off from the rest of the rooms for the new owner’s vision. Opening it up to the adjacent family room made it feel more spacious and offered a better setup for the mom to connect with her young-adult children. “She wished to create an environment where the kids want to be right now and will want to visit when they get older,” Paxton notes. “For us, that meant rethinking the relationship between the kitchen and the family room.”

When the house was first built, provisions were put in place for a future resident to finish a raw space above the garage. This iteration carved a game room out of this unfinished zone to give the siblings a bonding spot of their own. “Fortunately, the original owners had really thoughtful architects,” quips Paxton.

For the interior finishes, the team made selections that played into the home’s established style and complemented the existing white oak floors. “We used heavy, reclaimed timbers to span the kitchen and the family room,” says Paxton, “which gave the space some texture and age.”

“It’s the kind of detail you might see in an old French home,” Peterson adds.

In the kitchen, linen-hued cabinets fabricated by Worthington Architectural Millwork feature marble countertops sourced from the same Colorado stone quarry as the Lincoln Memorial.

When it was time to dress the rooms, the client called on her longtime friend Chloe Ball of Kenny Ball Design to make the house feel sophisticated yet welcoming. Upon entry, visitors are swept into a foyer adorned with a scenic Gracie wall covering that depicts weeping cherry blossoms swaying over a stylized wave. In the dining room beyond, marbleized wallpaper introduces the home’s palette of pewter, soft pink and blue.

Shades of cerulean continue in the butler’s pantry and in the family room, where a particularly inviting corner hosts a dining bench topped with Delft plates in acrylic boxes—a treatment client and designer spied while on a trip to New York City. “It was inspired by Kit Kemp. We had dinner at one of her hotels and loved that detail,” Ball shares.

Moving from the public spaces to the owner’s private rooms in the newer wing, the palette turns rosier. In the primary bedroom, Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster sets the scene for camouflage-print silk Fortuny draperies and a vintage Murano glass flush-mount light. Next door in the owner’s office, the blushing pink takes on a masculine edge when paired with millwork and graphic Kelly Wearstler wallpaper that resembles an abstract patchwork quilt.

While the home offers no shortage of eye-catching, top-shelf wall coverings, one of the most opulent moments occurs in the guest bath, where a sedge of cranes perches on hand-painted silk. “She fell in love with that de Gournay paper, but it can’t be exposed to constant heat and steam,” Ball explains. “Because this bathroom isn’t used very much, we decided to go for it.”

Such decisions were made easier by the fact that the two women aren’t just designer and client, but also friends. “We really excel as a team because we’re a good sounding board for one another. She trusted me to complete her vision for this house,” recounts Ball, adding, “At the end of the day, the interior choices and the architecture have to dance together.”

On a cinematic block in Georgetown stands one Federal row house that’s not quite like the others. Known as “the seam house,” it’s nicknamed for the visible vertical line stitched down its brick façade showing where a newer part of the home joins one of two older sections—the oldest of which dates back to the late 1700s.

For interior designer Azali Kassum, the idea of having more than two centuries of history beneath her feet proved an irresistible lure. “When I walked through the house for the first time, I loved how I could feel its age with every step,” she says. “The original part of the home used to be a cobbler’s workshop and it still had these incredible timber beams and old pine floors.”

Kassum, then an intellectual property lawyer, and husband Ian Myers, who works in healthcare, purchased the 3,000-square- foot property in 2014 and began a three-year renovation with the help of architect Christian Zapatka. The residence, which is composed of four sections, features a central core that was once the home of Colonel Washington Bowie, Sr., a godson of George Washington. In the mid-19th century, a two-and-a-half-story addition was built in front of that original structure to meet the sidewalk. “Often, the simplest modest dwelling would have been put up in the middle of the lot. As the owners gained prosperity, it would have been added onto over time and built out to the street front,” Zapatka explains. Later, the walkway between the houses was filled in with brick to create a side stair hall with a street-facing entrance, resulting in the seam. Sometime in the mid-20th century, another smallish addition was knitted onto the back of the house.

As the first order of business, Zapatka replaced the rear addition with a 600-square-foot, three-level annex that includes an enlarged kitchen, a new primary bedroom and a basement playroom, all connected by a contemporary, glass-walled staircase. Steel-framed doors and windows bring an abundance of natural light into the new kitchen—a collaboration with Snaidero DC Metro—which features a mix of streamlined, white cabinetry and burnished-metal accents. “The main objective was to create a comfortable flow between past and present, seamlessly weaving the historic base of the house with a fresh, modern design,” says kitchen designer Shawna Dillon.

The rest of the home saw updates that included the addition of a standing-seam copper roof, as well as new wiring and plumbing. Original windows and French doors were meticulously stripped, reglazed and reset because, Zapatka notes, “the mantra in Georgetown is repair rather than replace.” That spirit of preservation even extended to found objects: While eliminating a tiny stairwell from the home’s core, the team uncovered a large wheel that appears to be part of an old pulley system; they honored the relic by turning it into a sculptural focal point in the garden.

To bring consistency to the interiors, Zapatka and Kassum matched reclaimed-pine boards to 100-year-old floors in the older part of the home. By applying a chalky plaster finish in Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, they gave the walls a sense of Old World permanence while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. Stripping the dining room’s original timber ceiling beams—which had been covered with paint—added more patina. “I was definitely inspired by Parisian apartments and row houses in Amsterdam or Brussels, where you walk through and there’s a visual texture that you experience,” Kassum says. It’s not surprising the work of Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt became a frequent point of reference between Kassum and Zapatka.

“I think it’s fair to say we were all channeling him,” says the architect. “Our intention for the architectural envelope of the house was to make it elegant but spare, with a timeless quality.”

For the furnishings, Kassum sourced a mix of vintage, mid-century pieces from the likes of Fritz Hansen, Paul McCobb and B&B Italia with cutting-edge lighting from Alison Berger, Apparatus Studio and Ochre. While carefully curated, high-design flourishes abound, there are also clues that this is first and foremost a family home. Inherited art, including a collection of 19th-century reverse painted-glass portraits, reflects Kassum’s world travels, and one of the most colorful corners of the home proudly showcases works by a few up-and-coming artists: the couple’s three young children.

As the project neared completion, Kassum, who had been struggling with work-life balance as a new mom, eyed the possibility of a career change. Having loved every aspect of the renovation inspired her to pursue interior design full-time and eventually launch her own firm. “I found the whole process fascinating—from the conception of the design to working on floor plans and figuring out flow—and that was before I even started to think about what I was going to do inside, décor-wise,” she recalls.

Today, the home is both a personal laboratory for creative experimentation—she admits to constantly changing the furniture layout—and the ultimate calling card for her organic, unfussy approach. “I think a lot of design is based on how you feel when you walk through a space. I really wanted the house to do the talking,” Kassum reflects. “It was such a labor of love. That feeling is there every time I look around.”

Snowy white textiles, collectible art and carefully curated antiques don’t usually mix with the patter of little feet, but in this Bethesda home the elegant setting doesn’t hinder playtime one bit. Quite the opposite: In the library, the smooth curves of a sculpture by Stephanie Bachiero have become an unexpected jungle gym for two youngsters-in-residence. “No surface was so precious as to be off-limits,” says interior designer Darryl Carter. “The children have full run of the house, so the predominant goal was to create an environment that was kid-friendly.”

The owners, two busy professionals, called on Carter and architect Donald Lococo when it was time to renovate their builder-grade abode. Years earlier, the design duo had remodeled the wife’s parents’ house to much acclaim and the couple hoped to recreate that magic in their own home. They teamed with Horizon Builders, the firm that had collaborated on the previous remodel as well. “They wanted to reassemble the dream team,” jokes Lococo.

Frequent partners in design, Lococo and Carter are both renowned for their aesthetic restraint and their ability to synthesize classical architectural motifs and modern elements—an approach that proved useful for this project. Built in 1965, the 13,216-square-foot manse has a sprawling layout featuring a central hall entry flanked by the library and the dining room; the kitchen is on the opposite side of the dining area. Seven bedrooms are spread over three levels, with most situated on the second floor.

An exaggerated French façade was exemplified by overly ornamental limestone details and an oeil-de-boeuf window. To refine the exterior, Lococo streamlined the limestone trim and swapped out the ovoid window for something more understated. He then skimmed the brick with a creamy, stucco-like finish that “allows the brick to ghost through so you see its texture but not its color,” he says. Steel-framed windows and doors replaced the old ones to give the home a more European flavor. “Darryl suggested the house skewed Belgian modern, and that spearheaded the direction of the details,” Lococo explains.

“What Donald did was return the house to a purer state,” Carter adds. “Doing away with some of the decorative elements lends it a more modern sensibility.”

A similar mindset prevailed inside, where Lococo and Carter embraced the existing segmental arch openings throughout the home but nixed many of the interior’s fussier flourishes. Out went elaborate fireplace mantels in favor of sleek stone surrounds, and overdone crown molding was replaced by inset ceiling trim that evokes artisanal plasterwork of yore, but rendered in a fresh way. Walls received a mottled finish that lends a sense of age but still feels contemporary. “The thought was to elevate the interior trim details by reducing them,” observes Lococo. “I think the success lay in making the interior architecture traditional but questioning those details that we see time and time again.”

One exception was the primary bedroom, where embellishments were added: Lococo raised the ceiling to create a barrel vault which subtly echoes the segmental arches that appear throughout the home. “That arc helps transition from the public spaces to the most private and brings cohesiveness,” he says.

To further unify the rooms, Carter finished the oak floors in a blond hue that established a quiet ground for layering furnishings and art. “We had a shared design language and sense of palette,” he says of himself and the clients. “I am prone to environments that are relatively neutral, but I always like to use a splash of color in the art.” Here, he chose a bold saffron painting that unfolds like origami over three walls of the dining room. Other notable pieces include artworks by Edward Finnegan and Purvis Young, as well as a wide range of heirloom furnishings. “When you bring antiques into a more modern setting, their patina alone makes the environment more tactile and approachable,” the designer notes.

Alongside such rarefied finds, Carter incorporated durable indoor-outdoor fabrics throughout the home to stand up to the kids’ wear and tear. And to ensure there would be places to stash toys, snacks and other necessities, Lococo hid storage in plain sight: The living room paneling conceals built-ins and the primary suite features a wall of stealth drawers. In the kitchen, cabinets were so cleverly concealed as paneling that the wife called Lococo after moving in, panicked that there wasn’t enough storage. The architect showed up and started pulling open hidden drawers.

More visual sleight of hand occurred outside in the form of a living sculptural element. Landscape architect Jennifer Horn created a courtyard terrace of reclaimed French limestone selected by Carter, then planted four mature hornbeam trees that appear to burst forth from the stone, which actually cantilevers above the soil. Horn also leveled out the sloped lot and relocated the swimming pool to improve its sight lines. At the property’s edge, she devised a wall cloaked by a row of arborvitae to frame the woods beyond the house. “We really wanted to distill the landscape down to its purest elements: water, grass, trees, stone,” says Horn. “I think that’s in accordance with what Donald and Darryl were doing with the house.”

With that kind of synchronicity among the design team, it’s no wonder the collaboration rendered such harmonious results. Lococo and Carter have often said they’re so in tune that they finish one another’s sentences. “When we work together it’s a very fluid process, like there’s one brain doing it,” avers Lococo.

Carter concurs. “It’s great to work with an architect who shares a similar sensibility because it makes the collaboration a lot easier. It’s to the betterment of the project at large.”

It’s often the natural order of events for empty nesters to jettison a larger family home for a smaller, more manageable roost when the kids go to college. Not so for one Charlottesville couple. “Most people at this stage shrink their footprint,” the wife acknowledges. “We went in the opposite direction—we want to draw them back with their families someday.”

For the pair—he’s a biotech investor and she’s a retired investment banker—staying put in their Blue Springs Farm neighborhood was key, as they loved their home’s breathtaking setting. The lot, a 26-acre parcel cocooned by the forest on one side and wide-open vistas of the Ragged Mountains on the other, offers beauty in every direction. “At night, the lights on the mountain houses twinkle and you can see weather patterns as they’re approaching,” enthuses the wife. “Plus, our kids grew up here and played in those woods, so we have a lot of memories.”

As their three boys grew into teenagers, however, the couple started to feel the limitations of their 1990s-era residence. “We noticed that we were lacking separate spaces for everybody,” the wife says. “When the kids had friends over, we would lose our main living area.”

She and her husband embarked on a renovation helmed by Dalgliesh Gilpin Paxton Architects with an assist by contractor John Diven of Shelter Associates Ltd. But the project’s scope quickly shifted. “After we started the preliminary demo, we found there were major structural issues that couldn’t be resolved,” recalls project architect Mark Bittle. There was only one logical solution: Raze the house and start from the ground up. The new structure could be better oriented to its site, and could draw on a style that would resonate more deeply with the owners, whose tastes skew less traditional.

Loosely inspired by the region’s historical Georgian vernacular, the design is an exercise in symmetry and proportion, channeled through a contemporary lens. Says architect Roger Birle, “It’s a nice marriage between classic composition and modern materials and aesthetics.”

The completed, 14,000-square-foot abode effortlessly harmonizes with its site. By transposing the orientation of the previous home’s front façade, the architects created a more intimate arrival on the forest-facing side of the property while the rear takes in the majestic mountain range. Organized around a central mass and flanked by wings, the plan’s H-shaped layout accommodates the main living spaces and primary suite on the first level while four bedrooms, each with an adjacent bath, take up the second floor. The lower level boasts a home theater, gym, golf simulator and, for future grandchildren, a playroom accessed via its own secret door under the basement stairs.

Because the family loves to entertain and spend time outside, bringing nature in via seamless indoor-outdoor connections was paramount. The front entry yields a clear sightline to the rear yard and the views beyond. Nearly every room at the back of the house offers easy access to the pool, patios and a courtyard where a glass orb by artist Allison Armour serves as a focal point. These exterior spaces were shaped by landscape architecture firm Waterstreet Studio, which implemented a contemporary scheme using native plants.

Inside the home, European oak floors and a neutral material palette promote an aura of calm. The fact that the interiors possess the soothing vibe of a modern boutique hotel is by design: “My husband and I worked in Manhattan in the 1990s when W Hotels were new to the scene,” reveals the wife, who took on the role of designer. “That clean, uncluttered look is something we’ve always gravitated to since our early days.”

To execute their vision, she stuck to classic silhouettes and subdued shades of gray and cream. Just as a great capsule wardrobe affords the flexibility to interchange items, this approach gave her the freedom to move furnishings around on the fly. It also provided a quiet backdrop for more fanciful flourishes, such as the Poggenpohl kitchen’s diamond-like backsplash and an array of shimmery wall coverings and statement lights that add sparkle and pop throughout the house.

The glam aesthetic extends to the party barn, an outbuilding designed for hosting a crowd when the couple’s sons—all students at UVA—come home. “The clients didn’t want rustic, but at some point we started calling it the party barn and the name stuck,” Bittle explains. Riffing on the idea, the architects incorporated soaring steel trusses that mimic timber framework. To keep noise to a minimum, the barn is accessed via a courtyard that also leads to the main house, garage and pool.

“Part of the challenge was to create a new destination that would still feel connected to the house in a way that’s convenient and beautiful,” observes Birle.

These days, the party barn is packed almost every weekend, making the owners’ mission to entice the kids back home a success. “Every time I talk to them, they’re hosting parties or their sons are home having get-togethers,” Bittle affirms. “From all indications, the plan worked like a charm.”
