Classic Cottages wanted to build a modern home perfect for homeowners who love to entertain family and friends since this home is located just a few blocks away from the shopping, dining, and entertainment venues of downtown Arlington, VA.
This home exudes modern living at its finest. Maximizing functional, open concept living space on all four levels of the home was essential to the architectural direction given the narrow lot constraints. Utilizing both indoor and outdoor social spaces was the key to accomplishing this goal.
The design vision for this new-construction speculative home was to accomplish a modern aesthetic without being completely cold and stark. To do this, the builder played with the delicate balance of warm and dramatic elements combined with soft, smooth textures and tones.
“The exterior of this project focused primarily on clean lines and layered textures. The sleek light fixtures kept the linear modern aesthetic while the stone color and texture added the warmth to counterbalance the other bright tones and crisp lines.” – Classic Cottages
