This historic Georgetown, DC, residence underwent a comprehensive gut renovation, reimagining the interiors while preserving the home’s architectural integrity and historic character. The interiors thoughtfully blend the homeowners’ antique furnishings with custom-designed pieces, creating a dialogue between tradition and contemporary living. From the more traditional spaces at the front of the house, the design gradually transitions to increasingly modern expressions, culminating in a sleek garden studio.
