holy crap

This looks amazing! I’m a big fan of the stairs, although I agree with matt that they’re not for the clumsy… Kudos to the owners for a great renovation!

I’m sure there will be anti-modern naysayers, but forget them.

Lovely. Curious that they emphasized the outdoor spaces so much. I suppose there’s more indoors that we didn’t see. Not sure I’d share pics of my bedroom online either. It’s just interesting to build a pop up that is primarily outdoor space. I guess I figure most people build them to add internal square feet.

So is the pop-up next door a completely separate phenomenon? I watched these get constructed (recently, no?) and wondered if they were actually one building.

Did I see glowing cat eyes in the kitchen picture? If so do the fishies drive it nuts I wonder.

You’d never guess from the interior pics this is a rowhouse. Feels light and modern but not aggressively so. Amazing –thank you for sharing!

I always liked the pop-up, but I’m much more impressed with it now that I see it has two decks and that sink. Very nice addition. And it’s a question I’ve asked before but really, really want to know: what does a pop-up like that cost? I don’t need the numbers for cedar ceilings, just a hole in the roof that goes out to some nice deck space.

Very nice. It is a pity now the owner must die for humbling my abode.

What happens w/ the rainwater capture system? Is the water use it for graywater in the house? Watering the lawn?

Fantastic! ET, thanks for pointing out the glowing kitty eyes, this whole thing just made my morning better.

Wow, that rocks in so many ways. I’m mostly happy not having a lot of money but then I see something like that and think what cool things you can do if you’re rich.

Just one question about the koi pond. What do you do with the fish in the winter?

I’ve almost drank enough wine to cover my kitchen floor in cork.

I want this house…with the modern feel toned back a little. I freakin love the Koi pond and would love to do something similar as soon as I can buy a house in D.C. @Tmoney, Koi go into a kind of hibernation during the winter months. My family used to have 10-20 in a 5-foot pond and the top three feet would freeze and the Koi would live under the ice through the winter.

@Tmoney — it’s the most amazing thing. You do nothing, and they live. Moved into a place with a fish pond last year, and I had no idea what to do when winter came. The pond was was a solid block of ice for a couple weeks straight, and I thought I’d made fishsticks, but sure as sh*t, those little guys started swimming when it thawed out.
