Wiedemann Architects LLCMud room and kids entrance
This project is a new 5,900 sf. primary residence for a couple with three children. The site is slightly elevated above the residential street and enjoys winter views of the Potomac River.
The family’s requirements included five bedrooms, five full baths, a powder room, family room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, walk-in pantry, mudroom, lower level recreation room, exercise room, media room and numerous storage spaces. Also included was the request for an outdoor terrace and adequate outdoor storage, including provision for the storage of bikes and kayaks. The family needed a home that would have two entrances, the primary entrance, and a mudroom entry that would provide generous storage spaces for the family’s active lifestyle. Due to the small lot size, the challenge was to accommodate the family’s requirements, while remaining sympathetic to the scale of neighboring homes.
The residence employs a “T” shaped plan to aid in minimizing the massing visible from the street, while organizing interior spaces around a private outdoor terrace space accessible from the living and dining spaces. A generous front porch and a gambrel roof diminish the home’s scale, providing a welcoming view along the street front. A path along the right side of the residence leads to the family entrance and a small outbuilding that provides ready access to the bikes and kayaks while shielding the rear terrace from view of neighboring homes.
The two entrances join a central stair hall that leads to the eat-in kitchen overlooking the great room. Window seats and a custom built banquette provide gathering spaces, while the French doors connect the great room to the terrace where the arbor transitions to the garden. A first floor guest suite, separate from the family areas of the home, affords privacy for both guests and hosts alike. The second floor Master Suite enjoys views of the Potomac River through a second floor arched balcony visible from the front.
The exterior is composed of a board and batten first floor with a cedar shingled second floor and gambrel roof. These two contrasting materials and the inclusion of a partially recessed front porch contribute to the perceived diminution of the home’s scale relative to its smaller neighbors. The overall intention was to create a close fit between the residence and the neighboring context, both built and natural.

The new front vestibule addition, tied to the frame of the original front wall of the home provides comfortable and clean space to enter the home with all of life's "things".
Kelly Builders Carolina, LLCA light & airy vestibule area that leads to the 2nd floor deck, overlooking the front yard. The french door with double transom allows so much natural light in, making this a perfect place to display artwork and book collections.
Synergy Design & ConstructionIn the mudroom coming in from the garage, our team added ample storage on both sides of the custom, etched, laundry room door. The open cubbies provide space for coats, handbags, and shoes, and are accented by an elegant wood bench top.
Design Me By MahlahWe played with mixing metals in aged bronze and matte black. The metals accent the smokey green paint selection nicely. These tear drop mirrors add flare to the entry.
The smokey purple front door with matte black hardware accented the smokey green walls perfectly.
