The project

EL Studio renovated a 3,900 sq ft, two-level apartment on Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, completed in 2023. The space showed the challenges of converting the city's offices into homes: low ceilings, heavy structure, weak building systems and a triangular footprint between Massachusetts Avenue and P Street NW.

The design shrink-wraps the space, simplifying its geometry behind a curtain of refined finishes. Pale oak joinery, a marble-lined bathroom and a double-height gallery for art turn the awkward plan into calm, flowing rooms.
