It’s not always easy to add onto a mid-century home without it looking…added on. This new carport in Krisana Park was designed to feel as if it has been there all along. Intentional, but not flashy, with thoughtful lines and balanced proportions that echo the original architecture.

We kept things crisp and simple: a flat roof with a clean fascia, simple wood posts, and a new entry sequence that reorients the walk and provides a more focused sense of arrival. A custom wood slat screen adds a layer of privacy and rhythm, complemented by a steel planter that brings texture, contrast, and natural plantings. Fresh lighting and a soft, modern paint palette pull everything together.

The result is quiet but confident. The carport doesn’t compete—it completes. It offers shelter and presence without overwhelming the house. Scroll through to see where we started, the vision in rendering form, and how it all came together in the end.

Plantings to come in the spring…

Big thanks to Alex at Honeycomb Construction and his crew for bringing it to life!

A disciplined conversion: the new glass hall reads as a clear, contemporary layer that clarifies the castle’s massing. Transparency turns heritage into a civic interior—welcoming, legible, and restrained—where old and new stay distinct yet coherent.#Architecture #AdaptiveReuse #Renovation #Heritage #ConcertHall #gmpArchitects #bbbarchitekten #ContemporaryArchitecture #ArchitecturalDesign

Another exhibit at the Botanical Garden was miniature DC landmarks made out of plant based materials. This was one of the coolest, showing a few of the Botanical Garden. The yellow lamp on the door was illuminated and very cool. Washington DC USA 2025
