The project intends to blend with the context in its massing and materiality while contrasting with its color and texture to read as two contemporary but stately residences. The vertical divisions used in the facade detailing are intended to represent the rhythm of the neighboring 16' - 18' wide rowhomes and break down the broad faces of the building. Wood was used at entries to bring warmth and additional texture to the thresholds.

The brick-and-stone selection was critical because of the site's three-sided nature. The home’s material palette is both established and emphasized by the tones within the brickwork. “The Belden brick chosen helped us achieve the monolithic feel and warm, soft tones that we had envisioned throughout the design process with the client.”
