Sited on a sloping and densely wooded lot along the Potomac River, the owners of this new home required a plan flexible enough to accomodate a growing family, entertain, and recreate. Our solution employs a series of formally organized principal rooms overlooking private terraces and a pool. Due to site constraints, house size, and a basement sport court, we employed a straightforward structural scheme overlaid with a highly detailed exterior and interior envelope.
