Just a short walk from the shops and restaurants of 14th Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., local architect Teass \ Warren Architects and contractor Lot Squared Development renovated and restored an original 1906 Victorian. The light-filled, 4,220-square-foot home sits on a corner lot with a traditional turret, includes four bedrooms and six full baths, and spans four levels.
With three floors above ground and one below, the home is centered around an open staircase that visually connects all floors. Upon entering the home on the first floor, the owners and their guests are immediately greeted by the striking staircase, with its white risers, light wood treads, glossy black handrail, and unique metal balusters.
Evelyn Pierce Smith, founder of Evelyn Pierce Design Studio, consulted with Teass \ Warren on the project. “Aiming for a modern twist on the French townhome, the geometries of the metal balusters with the glossy wood handrail are meant to tie together the contemporary and traditional details of the home,” she says.
