Modern Courtyard

The site for a home just outside of Alexandria, Virginia was a small lot located in a neighborhood with varying architecture. The residence was swept from the street edge and nestled within the narrow, densely wooded space. The clients sought something simultaneously modern and traditional in their ideal carriage house: a new home design with a proper, classical feel while also at the same time being an edgy, contemporary modern custom home. Seemingly not a product of the two diametrically opposed visions between the couple, the entrance exhibits a traditional carriage house design without any indication of the juxtaposition that awaits or of any indication of modern house plans or features.
