Kalorama Residence
Washington, DC
How can a historic rowhouse make room for a modern family?
This full-house renovation preserves the original moldings, fireplaces, and staircase of a century-old rowhouse while opening the main floor to the light and flow a young family needs. RVI reworked the plan to connect living, dining, and garden, and designed custom built-ins that hide the clutter of everyday life.
A palette of deep greens, cognac leather, and natural oak ties old and new together, and the furnishings mix custom upholstery with vintage pieces the clients collected over many years.
“The house had to keep its history and still feel easy to live in every single day.”
