AMERICAN NEOCLASSICAL

Principles of form and space in classical and Greek revival architecture were employed in this Chevy Chase home expansion. The sound of a bell rung in the dining room reached the servant’s kitchen which constituted the only informal space of a past century’s design. The DLA solution established two symmetrical wings flanking the center classical revival structure while remaining loyal to revival trim work. Terraces added on three sides introduced exterior living space where none existed.
