Last summer I had the chance to photograph some exteriors of this stunning, historic row home in Dupont Circle for Trout Design Studio. The paint was stripped from the exterior bricks, and the entire four-story home was redesigned and renovated from the ground up, with painstaking attention to detail. As just one of many examples, the architect, Michael Lee Beidler, showed me how the tile patterns in the bathrooms were laid out such that the pattern was entirely continuous, with no partially cut tiles around the border.
The level of craftsmanship and attention put into the exterior faces and areas of the home was equally impressive.
My personal highlight from this shoot was photographing this gorgeous rooftop lounge –– obscured from street view per the neighborhood’s rules –– in a few different lighting conditions. My favorites were naturally taken at golden hour (below) and twilight (header).
Design of this caliber is a joy to photograph, and the project received some well-deserved attention in the spring issue of Home & Design Magazine!
