Byrd Park Residence
The clients of the Byrd Park House wished for a modern house that blended seamlessly with the its historic surroundings, a neighborhood of large homes built by notable architects during the City Beautiful movement. The exterior proportions of the house respect the character of its historic neighbors while quietly adhering to a more minimal aesthetic and simple palette of white plaster, bluestone and black painted metal. Inside the house, subtle curves in the finishing details and a palette of soft white and bleached oak project a feeling of calmness.
This project was completed in 2021 while Alex was an associate at ARCHITECTUREFIRM. The project received the AIA Richmond Merit Award in 2022.
