Urban Residential Design in Capitol Hill, Washington DC. The R | B House is a re-conceptualization of an end row house unit. Completed by Studio27 Architecture. The project is called the Rincon Bates House. The ‘Open’ House represents the non-traditional urban sustainable lifestyle.
The existing two-story structure was originally built in 1906 and represents the archetype of single family dwelling units in the city. The house had been renovated in the early 1970’s, but the interior space remained a series of compartmentalized programmed rooms reminiscent of more traditional lifestyles.

The scope of work evolved through an investigation of sectional manipulations focusing on apertures, daylight and natural ventilation.
Energy and water consumption are additionally minimized through the use of tank less gas-powered water heaters, new low E glass windows and doors, bio-based insulation, low-flow plumbing fixtures and dual flush wall hung toilets, and all interior finishes are domestically resourced recycled and formaldehyde-free to improve indoor air quality.
