The Hartford House is a Single-Family house located in the suburbs of Northern Virginia. The design sought to balance the traditional and the classical through the building’s form and the intentional use of materials, textures, patterns, and detailing. The building form pushes and pulls to creating connections to the outdoors, balancing views with privacy, all while maximizing natural daylighting. Integrated features such as a Turkish bath, swimming pool, sauna, fitness room and numerous outdoor terraces create a place for the family to unwind from busyness of daily life.
