Spatial vision & materiality

Private residential compound set amidst Virginia woodlands featuring grazing exterior lighting, cantilevered dark concrete, and bespoke white oak and calcareous marble interiors.

Designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding Great Falls woodland reserve overlooking the Potomac, this single-family estate stands out for its dramatic interplay of masses at night. The structure utilizes custom dark-pigmented architectural concrete paired with floor-to-ceiling frameless glazing. Interiors have been curated with monolithic cabinetry and suspended basalt fireplaces.
