Colorful Cooperative
This beautifully detailed Best Address DC apartment had existing service and redundant circulation spaces befitting its grandeur but which were no longer needed. The newly renovated kitchen was significantly enlarged beyond its original footprint by incorporating these underutilized spaces, providing direct access off of the formal dining room. A new bath was added off of the front hall, taking the place of an outdated butler’s pantry. The unit’s main bath was also updated to include a sunny walk-in shower, improved vanity, and additional storage space. In all aspects of the design, inspiration was taken both from the original 1901 detailing and finishes as well as the owners’ colorful folk art collection.
