Other Projects by Ballard+Mensua Architecture
Just Right in AU Park
Washington, DC, United States
This project is a wonderful example of the importance of the Ballard Mensua design process. At our first meeting, Ballard drew a sketch that looked much like the completed project.
However, during the design process, plans evolved with a larger addition to house a guest room and home office. With space on the site, and the budget for it, we moved forward into the 3-d design phase of the project.
After looking at many different ways to put a roof on the larger addition, our studio decided we needed to return to the original sketch because the proportions of the original house were getting ruined. We added a deep bay window in the back with a built in day bed for visiting guests and then brought the client to our office to demonstrate that the 3-d of the original sketch and as shown in the completed project was just right and the larger addition was not.
The client agreed and they are very happy with the result.
