“The O/K Calvert Street project, an 1,850-square-foot, one-bedroom condominium in Washington’s Woodley Park neighbourhood, converted a dark, north-facing unit in a 1970s ear building into a light-suffused residence with an almost Zen-like serenity.”

The judges scored the remodel very highly in all categories. They complimented this whole-house remodel on its ability to stand out while working within the constraints of the budget, calling it a simple but “fresh” project. Another element that appealed to them was the deck detail of steel beams rising at an angle.

Jury Comments: “This small, demountable ‘corn-crib’ cabin creates an elegant shelter, complete with a kitchen and sleeping loft, that has a minimal impact on the site and that allows for rapid construction…Its fun, portable, environmentally responsible.”

AIA Maryland Design Award 2011 | Excellence in Design
Jury Comments: “There are a number of projects that are similar to this; small footprint, simple to build, possibly portable, minimal but adequate accommodation. Not many have this degree rigor in material use, and particularly, detailing.”

AIA Award 2011 | Kit of Parts
Jury Comments " Just as the title says, it seems to be well thought-out. The "kit of parts" does a nice job of transforming itself as it moves through the house while not overwhelming the house....It is conceptually strong and innovative in its approach. To do a lot with very little intervention and actually transform the space is pretty remarkable."
Kit of Parts | McInturff Architects
AIA Award 2011 | The Crib
Jury Comments "This is a really fun project, like a folly. But it demonstrates some really intelligent strategies when it comes to prefabricating or preassembling the structure. The interior spaces were light-filled and obviously connected to the outside. For a very small space, they actually do quite a bit with it....They didn 't shy away from being playful with modern, iconic forms and the silhouette."

As so often happens with remodels, this project started as a simple request for bookshelves and then got bigger. But not bigger than it needed to be—thanks to an ingenious “kit of parts,” designed by McInturff Architects, which completely transformed the living spaces inside this classic bungalow with nary a structural change, other than moving a couple of windows.

“Matryoshka,” as in the traditional Russian nesting dolls? Exactly.

In this case, however, the forms vary not just in size, but also in materials, proportions, and degree of enclosure...

“The highlight of the apartment is the kitchen, a module of cherry wood and frosted glass cabinets in the shape of a trapezoid, with stainless-steel backslashes under a dropped ceiling the color of French lavendar. Black granite counters wide enough for rolling our pasrty dough and bar designed to accommodate cooking students are arranged at the edges, along with appliances.”

When the Ontario Apartment Building was constructed in 1906, its builders surely meant for its elaborate Beaux-Arts façades and stairways to evoke an air of drama. A century later, however, much of the building had become dark and disorienting. In this apartment conversion, the architect created a spare, modern space through the generous use of glass and translucent panels.

The Custom Home Design Award panel had a hard time tearing itself away from this entry, which one judge deemed “one of the best detailed houses we’ve seen today.” Another noted, “To do something like this that is so pure and so demanding of the geometry within an existing shell is so hard to do.”

Before it was a dark, disorienting apartment in a Beaux-Arts building. Now the new living spaces are strikingly clear-minded, thanks to a linear floor plan and a reductive palette of white walls, aluminum accents, stainless steel countertops, translucent-glass room dividers, limestone floors, and wenge paneling and cabinetry. The jury applauded the consistent, comprehensive interior. “The details are elegant, and a common thread runs through them,” said one judge. “It's integrated perfectly.”

It didn't take the client couple long to realize that its closed-in rooms and dim hallways would have to go. They wanted to create more efficient spaces and take better advantage of abundant natural light while preserving the integrity of the historic building.
The designers planned a new layout that would encompass two offices, a principal bedroom and a guest room, an additional bathroom and a professional-grade kitchen. Added Dimensions started by tearing out the walls--a move that revealed a welcome surprise...

Eight months and $380,000 later, this Ranchburger has ascended to filet-mignon status inside and out, owing to a 50-foot-wide wall of translucent fiberglass set in a metal grid across the top front of the building. By day it resembles an enormous shoji screen; by night, lit from within, it glows like a Japanese lantern.

Inform Award 2004 | A Secret Garden
For this backyard space, the initial objectives were rather utilitarian - hiding service wires and replacing a rickety fence. However, the site inspired ColePrevost to create a reflective bamboo garden, which effectively screens out neighbors while offering a sense of privacy and peace. Near the house, a wall of horizontal acid-etched glass channels is punctuated by narrow viewing slots. The channels are supported on stainless-steel stanchions, which provide a framework for LED “light sticks.”

They call it the big shoji screen in the park. It sits on a leafy lot surrounded by smallish traditional homes of a certain age (around 50) across the street from a pleasant park and a creek that runs down to the Potomac River. The house rises from an original brick foundation, its second story of stucco, steel, and translucent panels peeking through the tops of ancient oak trees...

Inform Award 2002 | Simplicity Rules
This renovation project re configures the second floor of a house to create an open tableau in modern materials. After opening the upstairs by exposing the rafters and knocking down dividing walls, the designers inserted a plane of acid-etched glass to separate the bathroom area from the sleeping space. Back-lit glass-reinforced plastic panels provide privacy in the shower area, while other forms of lighting can vary the opacity of the glass plane.
“The quality of light is very seductive. It’s not about views. It’s really about these different light qualities – both during the day and in the evening. It just creates a mood.”

This 420-square-foot attic space had been divided into two small bedrooms and a bathroom. The clients wanted to remove all the walls and convert it into an open master bedroom suite. According to the judges, architect Robert Cole succeeded in creating an “exciting, spacious, and theatrical room.”
