BYRD PARK HOUSE

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. More pictures of the project can be seen at ARCHITECTUREFIRM’s website. The project received the AIA Richmond Merit Award in 2022.
