This is a link to 1441 S Street which just went on the market last week. I designed this project for Adams Investment Group back in 1999. There were 3 adjoining townhouses, one of 3 stories, and 2 of only 2 stories. I added a floor to the 2 to blend in with the existing "modified mansard" of the 3rd. I then created 2, 2-story units in each townhouse. By raising the entrance up a little, we created an entry to the top level unit, then you enter the lower unit almost at grade and the entry is split inside. The section through the building is very interesting, with multiple 2 story spaces and outdoor entertaining areas. You can see some before photos and floor plans on my main website at arcadiadesign-dc.com

I love building models for projects. This is the model for 23 Wades Court in Rehoboth Beach.

Wades Court Pool

Since it's about 8 degrees in Rehoboth today, I thought it might be a good time to show how spectacular summer here can look like. This is the house I built at 23 Wades Court.

Canal Corkran


This is a site plan sketch I did for a lot at the end of Wades Court. I actually have plans for this house. My idea was to take advantage of the great views of the pond, yet face the house to the cul-de-sac. I took advantage of the set backs and the angles of the lot to create separate interconnected wings.
