Gainsborough Dr Extension

TYPE OF PROJECT: ADDITION

LOCATION, POTOMAC, MD

Recognizing the outdated layout of their 80s stock plan house, the owners embarked on a journey to rejuvenate the living spaces and establish a stronger connection with the outdoors. Seeking a visionary transformation, they turned to the expertise of RT Studio to bring their aspirations to life.

The collaborative effort aimed at creating a contemporary addition that not only met but exceeded the owners' requirements. A concept emerged featuring a spectacular modern shed roof structure adorned with floor-to-roof glass – a design that promised to not only create a striking contrast to the existing house but also introduce essential elements of space and natural light.

In envisioning this architectural marvel, the proposed addition was poised to be a captivating extension, seamlessly integrating with the original structure while redefining the aesthetic and functional dynamics of the entire property. The floor-to-roof glass promised an immersive connection with the surrounding landscape, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Regrettably, this ambitious project never came to fruition, yet the process of designing it became an enjoyable and enriching experience for both the owners and RT Studio. The exploration of possibilities, the creative dialogue, and the potential transformation of the 80s stock plan house into a contemporary masterpiece served as a testament to the collaborative spirit of architectural innovation.

Although the physical manifestation of the project remains unrealized, the seeds of creativity sown during its design phase have left an indelible mark. It stands as a testament to the owners' forward-thinking vision and RT Studio's dedication to pushing the boundaries of design. While the project may not have materialized, the journey itself became a valuable exploration of possibilities and a celebration of the boundless potential within architectural imagination.
