Lincoln residence, located in Arlington, is a renovation project by E/L Studio.

“The goal of this residential renovation was to take greater advantage of the opportunities presented by the volume of the existing structure, increasing square footage while adding minimal new envelope.  The result is an addition without “an addition”. A ’70′s-era modern home, the existing roof pitch of 45 degrees rendered much of the existing floor area of the 2nd and mezzanine levels unusable.  A portion of the existing roof was removed to create a ‘pop-up’ producing space for an expanded master suite with new bath and dressing room.  Openings sliced in interior partitions and a portion of an interior balcony were removed to improve connectivity and bounce daylight.  A new stair links the now-accessible third floor offices to the lower level and provides an anchor to newly-opened interior.” [elstudioarch.com]
