When starting this project, one of the main questions the design team asked was: “How do we renovate a dark,1990’s clubhouse, and give it an heir of sophistication that connects it with the suburban Washington, DC market – all on a tight budget?” One rule that was top of mind for the team was to let light and simplicity reign.
Inspired by the mature property landscape and a desire to engage biophilic design elements, the team landed on the design theme “Farmhouse Chic”. Grounded in nature, woods, timber beams, hot rolled steel; and neutral textures are the backdrop for a new design that has now been converted into a haven for the residents.
The HDG design team upgraded the leasing office and reconfigured the first floor to add package storage, a dramatic light-filled lobby, multiple co-working stations, areas to hang out, a sports bar, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
