Located in Bethesda, Maryland, this new award-winning home is graceful, with light-filled interiors. An arched opening offers an axial view into the great room (above), while the monochromatic kitchen (below) overlooks the garden. Seen from the foyer, a hidden door in the arched opening conceals a closet and entrance to the basement (opposite).

A view of the front façade of the house illustrates the juxtaposition of modern and traditional elements. The design is restrained and understated—distilled to its essence with purity of space, form, texture and light.
